[Travelandtourism] passing of federation member

[cheryl echevarria]

David Stayer passed this on to me.

To our Federation Family,
>
> I have been asked by our beloved colleague and friend, Diane to write to
> all of you with the very sad news that Ray passed away at 8:30 mountain
> time this morning, June 18th. He was with Diane. He was surrounded by
> friends and his beloved Federation family. As most of you know, Ray became
> ill over five weeks ago, and was rushed to the hospital. While at the
> hospital, later that week, Ray suffered a severe stroke. One week ago, Ray
> was transferred to the hospice at St. John's. Many of us have been at
> Ray's side and we know that many hundreds, if not thousands of you have
> been sending up your prayers for Ray and Diane. Diane has been overwhelmed
> and appreciative, beyond words of all of your love and heartfelt
> expressions of support for her and Ray.
>
> We will be sending information about memorial services. It is not my place
> to get into all of those details in this writing. Please circulate this
> sad notice to all of our friends and colleagues. I can tell you that
> throughout the sadness we now know that Ray is at peace. I can also tell
> you that Diane is now visiting with Dr. Mauer.
>
> Arrangements are being finalized.
>
> Yours in love,
>
> Kevan
