Ray was the essential gentleman and consumate professional. Polished. Sharp of mind and wit. Playful. Mischievous. Kind.
We were fortunate to learn from his example.
To all the Empson family - We are so sorry for your loss. There was simply nothing more important to Ray than all of you. He would speak of you all in such warm ways. Gay - sending you so much love. Josh and Rip - You have such wonderfully informed shoes to fill and there's no doubt you will.
May the days and weeks ahead allow moments of peace and joy to nourish you.

Gay, Josh, and Rip. I just found out about Ray's passing and had to reach out. I worked for Ray at the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps in New Haven when he was CEO (both times!). I have so many fond memories of Ray (his smile, his positive attitude, the sound of change jiggling in his pocket as he walked), but most of all, I just remember him as being a kind and thoughtful human being who cared deeply about his people. Thank you for loaning him to us for that period of time, he made a huge difference on our work and in our lives, and he will never be forgotten.
