MMarking Report post Posted May 31, 2008 I am so sad to inform you that my dear friend and fellow Wormwood Society member Wrayalien has passed away. Ray, as he was known to us Earthlings, fought the brave battle against cancer but ultimately his physical body gave in. Ray was a crazy, loving, generous man who loved sci-fi, absinthe, off-the-hook music and everything life had to offer. My favorite quotes from Ray are, "Get 'er done!" and "Aimlessly, meandering dumbassity!". I raise my glass in toast to a true friend. He is missed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OMG_Bill Report post Posted May 31, 2008 Condolences Molly. I had drinks with him last night on the back porch. Tough night. Tonight, I'll be honored to raise a glass or three with you. We got to know Ray while he went to school in OKC. He was here quite often and was here with me when I was going through a health issue of my own.

Gwydion Stone Report post Posted May 31, 2008 Wray was weird, odd, funny, quirky, and easily one of the sweetest, most generous, and thoughtful people it's been my pleasure to meet and my sadness to say farewell to. Molly, I'm deeply sorry for your loss and grateful that you looked after him so well. "Term of all that liveth, whose name is inscrutable, be favourable unto us in thine hour." Here's to you Wray: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oscar Report post Posted May 31, 2008 I was stunned when I heard this my only response is tears. When the mighty oak fell a tremor passed through all the rivers of the west. The tired salmon felt it. A rare distant voice entered the summer twilight while stars danced in the sky. Molly, Hissy and I have you and all who loved Ray in our prayers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
