      This article presents obituaries for John T. Walton, a billionaire who donated millions of dollars to provide new educational options for poor children, including private school vouchers and Ray Budde, who was said to have coined the term charter in reference to schooling. Walton died on June 27 in a plane crash in Wyoming. Walton, an heir to the Wal-Mart Stores Inc. fortune, died in Grand Teton National Park when his ultralight aircraft went down shortly after takeoff from Jackson Hole Airport. Budde died of respiratory failure on June 11 in Springfield, Massachusetts. He was a longtime educator, with experience as a teacher, principal, and education professor.
