While at work on Monday, March 19th, Ray went into cardiac arrest.  Co-workers at Wells Fargo immediately began CRP and utilized an AED, activities that truly saved his life.  While being transported to the hospital, his heart stopped an additional four times.  Ray is currently being treated at the University of Minnesota cardiac unit.
