For those of you that don't know, Ray was diagnosed with ALS last year. His mother died from this same disease in 1967. Last week Rays wife took him to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing. Ray has not been able to talk for over a year. Hospice has came in and gave Ray about 1 week to live. Tammy is having a birthday party on Friday from noon to midnight and has invited anyone out to see Ray for the last time. She says he recognizes faces under the right frame of mind. If you can't make it, please keep Tammy and Rays family in your prayers.

 

WOW.... Man what is going on? God Speed and my deepest condolences to his family.

 

Sorry to hear this. My prayers go out to Ray and his family.

Ray has always hooked me on parts of the years, very nice guy

 

damn, that's a shame.my condolences to his family.

 

I've seen his posts around the site over the years. Hope this isn't true, but if so hope he goes as painless as possible. Prayers sent.

 

Unfortunately its true man. About 1.5 years ago he started losing his ability to talk. I would stop by or call him and wouldn't be able to understand him. This is extremely unfortunate. Ray is a good Guy and doesn't deserve the suffering. If anyone can get by there I'm sure it would make his and his families day. He lives in Riverview and I can get the address if anyone needs it.

 

Wow....just got a the text from Cody and he looks bad!!! Sucks to see this, Ray is too young!!

 

If you go by there Cliff, please give his wife my condolences.... I'm still in Miami. I'll be nomenclature the weekend of the 19th

 

No clue what nomenclature means, but Cody and I went by tonight and gave Tammy your condolences.
