COMMON TATOR (RAY) PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING

Posted on 03/28/2009 3:36:03 PM PDT by Lisa_from Buckeye Country

He passed peacefully around 11 am with his step son and step daughter by his side. I got the call from his step-son, but have just been able to calm myself to let all of you know. Please share your thoughts, prayers, or a favorite story of Ray.

I am deeply sorry for your loss, and for ours. I hope you can in time take comfort from the words of those who were touched by his life.

My prayers go out to common tater and family.

What I found for a last post -

A Brilliant Trap Makes Dems the Male Chauvinists

Some time ago I emailed Hannity and advised him to fire Colmes and replace him with Kirsten Powers. She too is eye candy. If he didn’t have that power he should do things to encourage Alan to quit. Like letting the air out of his tires or if the dweeb rides the subway, slap a “kick me” sign on his back. Powers is a Dem. but she’s articulate and rational, the opposite of Colmes. I’ve noticed that she has gotten more air time with Sean since then. I’d bet that the show’s ratings improve when she’s on. I seldom agree with what she says but I like the way she says it.

A most wonderful promise to believers!

May God bestow an extra measure of grace to you now Lisa as you mourn Ray stepping into eternity to meet his Creator

Precious memories - keeping the good & letting the others drift away gently. God's peace to you & others who loved him & mourn his passing..

May our Heavenly Father surround all of you with His comfort and peace as the mixed emotions ebb and flow. No more suffering or tears for Ray, only joy in the presence of the Lord until we all meet up there!

I'm so sorry to hear that sad news...

I've been a Freeper for more than ten years, and through all of that time, out of all of the people whose opinions and analysis I have come to value and respect, Ray was always at the top of the list. A rare voice of sanity and insight who will be missed by many...

I am so sorry to learn of this. Tator was one of my all time favorite FReepers.

He gave me his telephone nbr some while back but I never seemed to have the time to take advantage of it.

I learned a lot from this fine Man, and the world is now a lessor place with Ray removed.

I am very sorry for your loss (and ours) Lisa.
