Prayers needed for a fellow pool player

[akaTrigger]

At about 12:45am, Ray finally got too tired to continue his fight and passed away. He’s going to be missed by a lot of people, and I know he made quite an impression on a lot of people as well. Somehow, I know he probably already managed to find a pool hall in the sky.

Thank you to everyone, from the bottom of my heart, for the thoughts and prayers.

And to the local players that want to know the arrangements, I’ll post them in this thread to keep everyone updated the best I can.

The world lost a great guy and a wonderful friend to so many people.

Sorry to hear about all of this. I'm sure he's in a better place now. Does anyone have a picture they could post of Ray? I'm sure that I'd know him if I saw his face. I played in SWEL for years so I'm sure we met or played each other sometime.

Here's a pic i just received. He was only 36 or 37 when he passed.

Here's 2 pictures of our team after last year's state tournament.


Ray is on the far right in the first picture, right next to me.



Ray is just 2nd from the right in the 2nd picture.
