Bingham Ray Obituary
The San Francisco Film Society says Ray died Monday. He was hospitalized Saturday after suffering an apparent stroke while attending the annual showcase of independent film in Park City, Utah. The exact cause of death was not released.
Ray served as president of United Artists for several years, where he shepherded such films as "Bowling for Columbine" and "Hotel Rwanda." He also worked at Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, where he developed marketing and distribution plans for films including "Death at a Funeral" and "Lars and the Real Girl."
The Sundance Institute called Ray's contributions to independent film "indelible."
He is survived by his wife, three children and two sisters.

A Loving Wife
January 24, 2012
When death reaches into a person's family and snatches away his mate or some other loved one, the shock of loss can be the severest emotional blow of our lives. Grief can be so difficult to endure that we may suffered sleepless nights, empty days and a feeling of not knowing how to go on, especially if the one lost is a mate. God is there for us He see our tears flow and pain oh heart, He will give us the needed strength to just go from one day to next. "that the power beyond what is normal may be God's and not that out of ourselves".
