As a 10-year-old, I was fortunate enough to tag along with my Nana and Granddaddy to NYC on their Texas Municipal Power Association conference, granddaddy was on the board. On the trip were an aspiring US Senator, Kay Bailey Hutchison, and her husband Ray. My biggest memories from the trip include Ray giving my cousin and I absolute heck. He played with us through the entire trip, and made sure we wanted for nothing. He passed away at 81 this weekend. My prayers are with his wife and family. Gov. Rick Perry released the following statement on the passing of Ray Hutchison: This weekend, we lost an extraordinary Texan in Ray Hutchison. From his commitment to developing the North Dallas community, to his service in the U.S. Navy and Texas Legislature, to his instrumental role in the creation of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Ray was a leader in every aspect of his life, and his contributions to the state of Texas will positively impact countless Texans for generations to come. Ray was a true public servant, a devoted husband and a loving father. Anita joins me in sending our prayers and deepest condolences to his wife, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, his children, and the rest of Rays family and friends during this difficult time.
