Ray Therat has passed away...

[Ultra]

His FB page tells the story.  We will miss you Ray. No one posted better salt flat stuff anywhere. Plus, too and also, you were ALWAYS a real gentlemen. 

:'-(

Safe journey, good sir

Not just a salt flat man, but as knowledgable as anyone here on some of the strange vehicles we manage to dig up.
'twas good to have "known" him on these pages.

[Otto Puzzell]

So long, friend. 

[Ray B.]

Damn'.
I didn't knew him long, but I liked that guy...
I see this on his Facebook page. It's on my HD too.

What a shame.
He seemed a great guy and a real Car Man.
Very sorry to lose him.

That's so sad. We will defintely miss him.

Ray was a welcoming presence when I first found AP. He was enthusiastic and upbeat, and kept pretty busy...and shared his interesting doings with us all.
I'll miss Ray.

I have just found out about Ray's passing. Ray joined Autopuzzles about the same time that I did, and he usually had a go at the puzzles that I posted. Like what has been said before, he was very enthusiastic about trying to solve a puzzle. Such as this one;

Having now read his obituary, I have nothing but respect for his accomplishments.

Godspeed Ray.  I only "knew" you through this forum and wish I could have met you in person

Terrible news. He was a great person. He will be remembered by many people here on AP and beyond.

I've only just come across this sad news......

Gone but not forgotten, I always enjoyed exchanging guesses and news with him.
A great character I believe and AP is much poorer for his passing.

RIP Ray

Sorry to hear Ray has passed I will miss reading his posts.

He was one of the friendlier members of Autopuzzles , I remember him giving me some good advice when I was new here.

So sad!

I just came across this thread, but felt the need to post my tardy condolences.

I got my first point from one of Ray's puzzles, and always appreciated his presence.

Rest in Peace Ray!
