I never knew Ray, but your post gave me a very colorful image of the man and his genius. Thank you, Brad. You were lucky to have known him and we are all fortunate for having been touched by his life and work.

Very nice, Brad. Thanks for the vivid tribute.
Thank you for this, Brad. I appreciate the humor and how you paint the picture of Ray’s unique & beautiful character. Warmly, Darlene Weide (ED, Community Boards)
Beautiful, Brad. Great picture of Ray.
