Ray Doyle Satterlee died on Friday, August 12, 2005, at Alexian
Hospice, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, after a relatively short illness.
Ray won one U.S. Senior Open title and tied for first on two other
occasions, losing the title on tiebreaks.

His obituary will be in the Monday Chicago Tribune and Daily Herald,
with a two-night wake Aug. 16-17; there will be a celebration of his
life at 7 p.m. Aug. 17. See obituary for details.

Ray was a great chess guy. He was my first upset of what we considered
a strong player back in those days, and I was able to play him speed
chess again at a later National Open - more than 20 years later!

Ray was always a class act, winning or losing. He will fulfill my dream
of taking a few games from Rudy Spielmann first; I hope he will give me
a few pointers when I see him again.

RIP, Caissa's Warrior.

Ken Marshall reminded me that Ray beat Hikaru Nakamura (only 11 years
old or so, but already a strong master) at the 1999 National Open.
