It is with great sorrow that I hear about Ray’s passing. When Ray adopted me as a “permanent visitor” -- back in 1978 -- the subsequent years I spent working in his group was the happiest period of my life. His positivity and his enthusiasm, his dry sense of humor and his hands-off mentorship, but yet probing way of guidance, not only reignited my love for science and NMR but also shaped my future path. Remarkably, Ray never told us what to do but instead steered us in the right direction by asking questions. With his unassuming leadership, he managed to impart in all of us a feeling of pride, accomplishment, and satisfaction when entering the world of nuclear spins. Although he is no longer with us, the fond memories I have of spending time with him will remain with me forever. My deepest condolences to Anne-Marie and the entire Freeman family on the loss of this most wonderful man who inspired so many. We will never forget him.
