Wow! I just opened this link and was shocked to read. I had the pleasure of having Ray in my boat once while the two of us caught fish sitting side by side longlining. It was always great anytime I got the chance to see and talk with him at the Crappiefests too. He will DEFINITELY be missed. My condolences goes out to all his family to help during this grieving time. We all just lost a good one but we all know he's enjoying everything God has to offer him now too.
