Daniel Wray
DANIEL WRAY
Cedar Rapids
Daniel Arthur Wray of The Meadows on Memorial Drive SE, died Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2014, of heart failure. He was 65.
Dan was born June 20, 1948, and adopted shortly thereafter by Robert and Janet Wray of Cedar Rapids, both of whom preceded him in death.
Dan could be viewed as a larger-than-life character, a man of lavish tastes, who believed, like Shakespeare, that "all of a life is a stage and all the world merely players." Though annoying and provocative at times, his generosity was unbounded.
A memorial service will be 1 p.m. Saturday, July 26, at Palisades Cottage. Please contact (319) 338-6770 for further details.
