Not sure what to say?

I had a huge crush on him at Vassar. I recall that the first time I ever stood up all night to watch the dawn, Ray was in that little clique of kids who was there. In fact, he was our leader. Just thinking about him recently and wondering how to track him down. Too late! How wonderful it would have been to have discovered what kind of man he had developed into. I'm sure he went on making jokes and amusing his friends to the end.

I am sorry to learn of Ray's passing. We were good friends while we studied for the PhD at Columbia. He was always there for those going through difficult times.

Thanks,
Ray
