Raymond Irvin Parnas

I am one of Ray's former students who had become a lifelong friend. He was a tremendously influential mentor to me and a dear friend. I just learned of his passing while casually looking through a UC Davis Alumni Newsletter that was e-mailed to me today. I'm so sad...I cannot express it! I was just reading his last letter to me the other day, when he wrote to tell me of Sharon's passing. We spoke this past Fall and his heart was so obviously broken. I felt deeply for his pain. Ray and...

I met Ray this summer on his visit to St Louis. I know that he was hurting terribly from losing Sharon and hope that he has found the peace and the answers he was looking for.

Dear Andy,

I was sorry to learn of your father's passing. I enjoyed reading about his distinguished career in the law and know you were very proud of his accomplishments. Monica and I send our condolences.

From talking to Ray about baseball cards to stacking wood to taking care of Shlomo, he has contributed greatly to my childhood memories. He and Sharon will be deeply missed.
