Ray Manzarek is not a retiree. He is, however, a DePaul alum who graduated with a degree in Economics. He is also the founding member of The Doors whose piercing electric organ sound defined their career-establishing hit "Light My Fire" and most of the group's cornerstone songs. Ray and Jim Morrison decided to form a band built around Morrison's poetry and Manzarek's music. He passed away Monday in Germany after a lengthy batter with bile duct cancer. He was 74.
