In Memory of Ray Michelson Not, how did he die, but, how did he live?

Now what did he gain, but what did he give?

These are the units to measure the worth, Of a man as a man, Regardless of birth.

Not, what was his church, now what was his creed?

But had he befriended those really in need?

Was he ever ready, with a word of good cheer, To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?

Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say, But how many were sorry when he passed away.
