Ray Shapiro

My brother Ray led a complicated life. He had battled addiction through out most of his years but finally managed to become clean and sober for the past few years of which he was very proud. He had an incredibly big heart had a lively wit and an infectious laugh. He will be remembered for his many talents musically and of course his amazing ability as a hair stylist. Ray is survived by his siblings Harriet Tedley (Mark) Gail Shapiro Boimov and their children Miriam Tedley-Martin Aaron Tedley and David Tedley. Sam Boimov, Max Boimov and Shayna Boimov. He also had great nieces and nephews Aurora Iris Lainey and Asur. Ray will be brought home to Mpls minnesota to be buried with our parents Lois and Harold Shapiro at a time that will be later announced. Rip Ray you were loved and will be missed.

My name is Harriet Shapiro Tedley and Ray was my brother, We were very close growing up and he was talented musically and used to perform with me at lots of golden age homes and charity organizations.

From Gail Shapiro Boimov In Loving Memory of Ray Shapiro. My brother passed away on Friday, June 7th, leaving behind a legacy of memories and complexities. I'm writing this for my mom and dad, Lois and Harold Shapiro, who loved him unconditionally while they were alive. Ray possessed a spirit that yearned for understanding, connection, and acceptance. Ray's path was a winding one, marked by a lifetime battle with addiction and, ultimately, lung cancer. While these struggles created distance between him and those who cared deeply for him, they do not define the entirety of his existence. He was more than his addiction; he was a son, a brother, a favorite Uncle, and a friend to many, and his journey was marked by resilience, moments of brightness, and two years of sober living, which made him proud. For those who knew him intimately, he will be remembered for his laughter, quick wit, moments of kindness, and a desire for belonging. Although our reconciliation was incomplete, the memories shared remain a testament to the complexity of familial love. In honoring his memory, may we all strive for compassion, understanding, and forgiveness, recognizing that each life is a tapestry woven with light and shadow. Rest in peace, Ray.
