What a loss .The world and the racing community lost a great man Saturday who will be missed by many .He left behind his children , grandchildren and his loving wife - Ruth .

For me - Ray and I were friends since the early seventies and for a time were even race car partners .And I valued his friendship every day - he was just that kind of guy .And a good racer also as he was the 1979 Division One Stock Champion .RIP Ray ..........
