Very well done. I was surprised when I first heard that Ray didn't want a Memorial service, but I see that that is fitting with his wish that he not be 'set up on a pedestal', as so many others do.
One thing I wanted to suggest is this: is there any way we could send a card to his wife Cynthia?
A lovely tribute Paul.

Concise and to the point as Ray would of liked it. Thanks Randy
Very well written. I should have known AllTimeJeff wrote it. Jeff, you need to write a book yourself. Seriously.
Well done,
Nice work

Beautiful. I wanted to share it with our readers, so I sent a link your way, Jeff and Randy...
Thanks all of you. Saturday we should have several of our resident bloggers with something to say about what Ray meant to them, so check out Freeminds.org on Saturday!

Well done.
Sums up how most of us feel about his character and his life work. He has helped so many people, and his first step was to be true to himself and his beliefs. There's a lesson for us all in that.
