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 didn’t know him but I enjoyed his posts and was sorry when they became less frequent and finally disappeared. But he’s left behind some good Freeper memories. Prayers for him.

Ah, you fine lady. Common Tator ran his race and has gone on. These words which Ben Franklin wrote for himself as a young man, now apply to Ray.

The Epitaph of Young Benjamin Franklin

The body of
B. Franklin, Printer
(Like the Cover of an Old Book
Its Contents torn Out
And Stript of its Lettering and Gilding)
Lies Here, Food for Worms.
But the Work shall not be Lost;
For it will (as he Believ’d) Appear once More
In a New and More Elegant Edition
Revised and Corrected
By the Author.

Please find in the prayers and wishes of all of this community the strength to go on, and rise up, and shine.

John / Billybob

Lisa, you've been a stalwart friend, a treasure! May God bless you and the family in this difficult time.

I, too, shall miss Common Tator's wisdom; we joined FR within months of each other and used to enjoy thoroughly the back and forth of our discourse in those days.

With sincerest sympathy for all,
Penny

Prayers for his eternal rest, and for the comfort and consolation of you, Lisa, and all of his other nearest and dearest.

Whenever I saw his name at the bottom of a post, I’d stop and read it. I thought he was terrific, and I’m going to miss him.
