I knew him as Headmaster at Saddle River Day where he instituted a policy of students and teachers saying hello to each other as they met while walking on campus.

Mr Nelson was a very beloved man of many talents but his smile and kindness to...

I am sure Mimi and his family will miss...

Ray was always filled with Advent. He effused continuous hope, patient waiting and an even keel no matter his or others circumstances. To have a brother (in law) like this, that always made me feel like the most special person in the room is rare and of course missed, I am so grateful for him.
