I was thinking about Ray today, I talked with him over the years from the infancy of the internet until shortly before he passed away To me Ray wasn't just a giant in literature he was THE giant and I still can't believe he is gone. Condolences to Dawn and all of his family and friends

Ray, you will be missed. Ever since I picked up my first book in the eighties I have been a fan. And loved your hilarious and dark humored posts and Facebook friendship over the past decade or so. You have left a void my friend.
