Deaths of note from around the world:

Robert D. Ray, 89: A centrist Republican who served five terms as governor of Iowa and welcomed thousands of Southeast Asian refugees to his state in the 1970s — a politically risky decision he considered a moral imperative — died Sunday at a care facility in Des Moines.

Sam Esposito, 81: the North Carolina State baseball coach who played in the 1959 World Series for the Chicago White Sox died Monday at a nursing home in Newland, North Carolina. No cause was given.
