Friends, we have a quick ask. You may already know about the passing of our beloved pal Ray Wood a few days ago. Ray’s family will appreciate support in shouldering some of the expenses related to Ray’s passing, noting that Ray wished to have his ashes scattered. Ray’s family describes in the final weeks how his speech was quieter, his movements slower, notably, he stopped playing. One of Ray’s wishes was to remain at home, and when his family decided to call for help, first responders arrived and they carried Ray to the ambulance just before his eyes drifted off for the final time. We send our love to all of Ray’s family, and to everyone who cherished his genius and all he brought to the world. There will be more details forthcoming about a memorial service, tentatively scheduled for mid-January in Olympia, WA. And of course, there will be a special memorial celebration at Wesier this year. Stay tuned or get involved if you’d like, starting by contributing right here. Additional funds raised beyond the necessary short-term expenses will assist toward the creation of a Ray Wood Memorial & Scholarship to honor Ray’s memory into the future.
