<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ray was not just a great pattern buddy. He
was incredibly smart and had a way of putting you at ease immediately. He
had a learned interpretation on everything and I liked listening to him.
He was one of the first guys I looked for to say hello to. He will be
missed.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT size=2>I will never have another pattern contest
go by without thinking of him. I remember when I came in first place
at Nederland rc pattern contest. Really a big part I came in 1st is
because before the contest I sat down with him. While he was having his
coffee and his cigar(hehe), he taught me allot of stuff in that day that I
will never forget about.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>I just expected for this
healthy friend to pass away so soon. Makes me cry and have a lump in my
throat like I got right now. Ray was a good sport, a funny friend who told
lots of funny things. There just so much more that I would like to say
about him. But apparently there won't be enough room left on the page.lol.
It is very hard to say this, but I believe he is in a better place
flying his airplanes. He will be in my prayers always. And will never
leave my mind.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=3> </FONT> <BR><FONT
