I am so saddened hearing of Ray's passing. My heartfelt prayers go out to his family. I have great memories of Ray growing up, and I enjoyed catching up with him whenever our paths crossed. He will be deeply missed.
I am sorry I won't be able to attend the related events due to my wife's significant immuno-compromised status and the associated risk I would pose to her by attending. My thoughts will be with him and his family.
