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.

May he rest in peace in the arms of his Lord and Savior.

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4

I bet after Tator’s done talking with Jesus and his loved ones who now reside in Heaven, he’s going to head over and have a very long conversation with the Founding Fathers.

Man, who didn’t have an exchange with the Tator at one time or another over the years?

What a great guy, one of the anchors of FR. His passing is a knife to the soul.

RIP Ray.

Party for the President, April 29, 2004. Five years ago tomorrow. That is the way I will remember Ray. It was a good day. Rest in Peace Brother.

Heavenly Father, thank you for giving us Ray, and thank you for his ability to share his talents and wisdom with us. Please hold his family members, and those who loved him in Your Arms of comfort, and may Your Presence be tangible to those who are hurting at this time. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Lisa, we are so sorry to hear this news.

Ray was a survivor from the class of 98 and boy did we ever have a good time, especially during the Clinton years.

Ray was a wise gentleman and well respected here on FR. We can't hope to fill the void he left. He was one of a kind.

Our sincere condolences to his loving family, Spectre and Wife

Loved his posts. Often humorous and always right. Had he been ill? This seems so sudden. God must have work for him to do in heaven.
