We lost another great one, Ray Hall

When Riggs posted he had passed I jumped in the car and headed over to his house. I wasn't sure if anyone would be there. As I pulled in Ron's truck was sitting there. I was hit with an emotional roller coaster. I'm not ashamed to say that I was balling like a baby before I even walked in the door. I'm sure it didn't help Ronnie and everyone else that was there. It took me a while to get the words out but when I did I ask how he passed. As with most of us we only hope there is no suffering. Ray died in his sleep. They are not sure what happen but it may have been a heart attack. Ronnie called him early and when he does that and Ray's sleeping Ray will call back when he wakes up. Ray never called. Ron got worried and went to his house. Ronnie found him in his bed. I feel so sorry for Ron. It has to be rough. All the boys were very close to their dad.

Ron was heading for the funeral home when I left to make arrangements. As soon as I hear anything I'll post them up.

Ray & Ronnie

Ray joined the Scroungers Car Club years ago. After I got myself together and was walking out I passed by his new truck he bought. On the drivers side glass was a Scroungers decal. I started balling again. We have truly lost a great man.

I'm not sure how long Ray has owned this Chevy but I remember playing football on Boone St. when I was just a kid and it was sitting in front of his house then.

I am truly sorry. I only met Ronnie's Dad a couple of times but he seemed to be a pretty cool fellow.
My condolences to you, Reb, and to Ronnie and his family. It is easy to see that his memory will live on.

Lay out will be on Monday and Ray will be put to rest Tuesday morning. Times and address of the place will be posted tonight when I get time to look them up. I hope some of you local guys can make it. It would be nice if you could drive your hot rod too. He would like that.

I'm so terribly sorry to hear of this loss.

I was glad it didn't rain Tuesday morning. Amy and I drove the Fire Chicken out with the 2X4's. As we were leaving the funeral home to go to the cemetery I ask Amy if I should open the headers up. She said she wouldn't. I thought about it for a minute and pulled the switch. The 454 roared out to the street in the line with everyone else with open headers. When I'd let off the gas I could hear Joe's Nova behind me. I'm not sure what everyone else thought as we drove down to the cemetery but I think Ray would have liked it that way and that's all that counts.
