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.

Trying to get this very sad news to some of the ones who knew Ray best on here. Please ping if you can think of anyone else, I’m not thinking to clearly right now.

Prayers for you and his family. The Lord has taken him home and eased his suffering and will forever be taken care of.

His comments here on FR will be deeply missed. Ray was one of the first posters I read and was so impressed (jealous) of his writing abilities and analytical skills.

There isn’t a Common Tator Conservative, He was being humble. He was a Special Tator and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Bless another conservative warrior.

I’m sorry to lose Ray. He was one of the best interpreters of American politics on this site. I’ll miss him.
