Ray Schrick was born at home on the farm, delivered by his grandmother, on April 29, 1943, in Mooney Creek, Kansas. Ray, the fourth of seven children born to Raphael and Genevieve Schrick, passed away at home on August 25, 2024, enveloped by the love of his family. Ray will be remembered for his sense of humor; for embellishing his “poor stories” gleaned from his adventures growing up on a farm without running water, attending first a one-room and then a two-room school house; for always being in a good mood; for being at home everywhere he went in the world; for always being the fun end of the table.

Ray experienced many firsts in his life: the first in his family to attend a four-year college/university; the first to earn his Master’s degree (Whittier); a member of the first cadre of mentor teachers in the Novato Unified School District; the first to fund and set-up a computer lab at Novato High where he also taught BASIC and PASCAL languages; the first to implement and teach Advanced Placement Calculus AB at Novato High from the early 1980’s until he left in 2002. Beyond the classroom, he and a business partner founded one of the earliest “wellness” “start-ups,” terms that didn’t exist when their successful co
