Bill Ray
in honor of David.
Faithful Christian, completely dedicated family man, committed educator of young people, talented musician, husband of my third grade teacher, father to my friends. There are some people who do so much good in the world that, because of their humility and understated selflessness, you can lose track of how much. We have lost one of those people. Although not a frequent presence in my adult life, whenever I saw him or even heard mention of his name, I felt like I should stand to "attention" out of respect for the strength and love with which he lived his whole life. Peace to the Groves family, and peace to Mr. Groves, now in Heaven without disease or pain.
