Brief but nice obit in The Los Angeles Times for veteran animator Ray Patterson, who I knew, though not well, when I worked at Hanna-Barbera. Here's the link…and this thought: The last time I spoke to Ray was at Bill Hanna's memorial. The last time I spoke to Avery Schreiber was at Lorenzo Music's memorial. A good purpose for funerals is to remind us to stay in touch with people while we still can.
