Ray Grimm passed away on January 22, 2012 at the age of 87. His last years were not easy due to numerous injuries resulting from a lifetime of adventures. In spite of his difficulties, he lived life to the fullest all the way to the end. He is fondly rememberd by Jere, his wife of 57 years, 6 grown children, 8 grandchildren, hundreds of students and innumerable friends. We started this blog to celebrate a life that has touched so many so deeply.

Kidnapped!
Shy 20 yers ago, got wind of a train trip from PDX to MSP. Jere & Ray were heading my way to connect with Wisconsin Family. We surprised, kidnapped, & provided shelter for them when they got off the train @ midnight.
Next morning, we talked them into taking the Chevy pick-up (as I knew this would be right up Ray's alley.) Off they went -towards the rolling hills of Wisconsin -for a couple of days.
Upon return, we spent an afternoon in downtown Minneapolis. Ever grateful for that time with them and later for the beautiful cups and Pen & Ink drawing of our garden they sent in gratitude.
