Remembering Raymond J. Slomski November 18-1956 - December 26, 2019

In a letter to his brother, Theo, Vincent van Gogh once wrote, “Those who love much do much and accomplish much, and whatever is done with love is done well.”  Raymond J. Slomski, a Trustee of the Phoenix Art Museum, lived those words throughout his life until his untimely passing on December 26, 2019.

 

A native of Chicago’s South Side, Ray was the only child of working-class parents who modeled for him the generosity, kindness, and authenticity that would define his life.  They devoted themselves to his education, and Ray would ultimately go on to graduate from law school at Northwestern University, fulfilling an early dream of practicing law.  In the early 1980s, Ray relocated to Arizona, where he met and married his beloved wife, Pam, beginning an adventurous life together during which they raised their two children, Whitney and Bucky.  He also established his legal career in Arizona first working as a defense attorney with Jennings, Strouss, & Salmon, PC, until beginning his own firm with a focus on advocating for the victims of catastrophic injuries.  Ray devoted his life as an attorney to being a voice for vulnerable people.  Through his dedication to his clients, his tenacity as a legal strategist and laser-focused litigator, his unrelenting care and compassion for those who most needed him, Ray built one of the most successful and respected medical malpractice firms in the state of Arizona.

But Ray also sought to make the lives of those in his community better in other ways, primarily through his volunteerism on behalf of education and arts and culture.  He played an active role in supporting education institutions both in the valley and his native Illinois, and at Phoenix Art Museum, Ray served as a dedicated and devoted Trustee since 2011.  In the end, however, it is not the professional or honorary leadership titles that he held that most defined Ray.  The hallmark of Ray Slomski’s life was his uncanny ability to be fully present for those who needed him most and to be unfailingly true to himself.  Always kind, always funny, and always devoted to his family.  Ray left a model of compassion and grace—and a spirit of adventure—that can never be forgotten.  As a man who knew how to enjoy and get the most out of all that life had to offer, he was as equally determined to help all people find joy, comfort, and healing in their own lives.
