Ray told me once he was a direct descendant of Abe Lincoln. He may have been spoofing, but I sure believed it to be true: saw a resemblance even without the stovepipe hat! I think he was our frosh class president at Bloom, too: used the hat as a prop and it put him over the top! Goodbye, Ray, you'll be missed.
Ray was a great guy, a lot of fun to be with. Waldy has a different recollection than I do. He was our band's manager but I don't remember we had that many gigs. Sure had a great time though.

He was a great friend! A fellow trouble maker.
