Ray was a wonderful grandfather to his beloved Ari and Quinn. And a friend to me his son in law. Ray loved reading, lively discussion, Jeopardy, cross word puzzles, and fueling his intellectual curiosity. He also relaxed with horseshoes --here's to pitching perfect horse shoes in heaven, Ray! Love Scott

Without Dad's illuminating commentary, it won't be the same watching Jeopardy, Nova, and Frontline or listening to Live From Here [formerly A Prarie Home Companion], This American Life, and Science Friday or going to the Lakefront Festival of Art. Dad's reading recommendations, Skyla the cat stories, and good advise will be greatly missed. Thanks Dad for so many wonderful memories.
