====================
Tonight, we remember a fellow Toastmaster, friend, and familiar face at San Leandro Toastmasters.
Ray Keden was someone who truly enjoyed being part of this club community over the last 40+ years. He brought his presence, personality, vast experience, and generous support to our meetings, and many of our members have memories of conversations, laughter, and encouragement shared with him throughout the decades.
One of the special things about Toastmasters is that a group of people meeting for just an hour each week can become an important part of one another’s lives. Ray was part of that connection, and his absence will be deeply felt.
As we honor his memory, we are reminded to appreciate the people around us and the impact a kind word, a shared story, or a welcoming smile can have.
We are grateful to have known Ray, and we send our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.
