It is with great sadness that I announce the sudden death of Dr. Walter Ray, assistant professor of neurology, on December 9, 2008.
Dr. Ray was a valued senior member of the UF Department of Neurology since 1999. He attended the University of Florida for both medical school and his neurology residency. Dr. Ray will be truly missed by the medical students and residents he taught, as well as his department colleagues. He was an immensely popular physician known for his warmth and compassion as well as his encyclopedic knowledge base.
His caring, fatherly presence set his patients at ease. Dr. Ray possessed a rich sense of humor that was typically self-deprecating. His patients, students and colleagues were fortunate to have known him. We offer our deepest sympathy and condolences to his family.
