raybo has left us
I am afraid I have some bad news to report regarding Raybo. I just received an email from his sister, Jonnie Ray passed away yesterday about 1245. It was his wish to be cremated and have his ashes interred at a veterans cemetery in Dallas.
I sure learned quite a bit from him over the years. RIP Ray RIP

Very sorry to hear. Really liked his contributions.
Raybo introduced me to equal length golf clubs. I'm sure he would be happy to see how well Bryson Dechambeau is playing with them.

I corresponded with Ray a few times and he was always very kind and helpful. I learned several valuable things from him and am grateful.
Thank you Ray for your contributions to teaching us - godspeed onward.

This very sad development deserves its own thread in a major forum of this site, IMO...given that Raybo was a fixture here for a long time. My deepest condolences go out to his family.

I agree with Thask that this should be moved to a more prominent spot.
I didn't know Raybo that well but I always liked his posts and you could see he was a really good, helpful guy. My condolences to his family and all of his good friends here as well.

So Long Friend
There are very few if any persons that you are in contact with on the Internet that you can call a friend, but to me Raybo was a friend because he was always polite and supportive even when he disagreed with me; and I hope now he is at lasting peace.
