Greetings. Amy Coapman here, writing to let this wonderful community that Ray enjoyed so much over the years that he died at home, peacefully, yesterday morning, April 15th. I was with him throughout his passage, along with his beloved Border Collies.
He had many hours of enjoyment here at the hangout, and I thank you for being such a big part of his life.
Peace to all.

Thank you all very much. Ray will be interred tomorrow afternoon surrounded by a passel of our music-playing friends. We'll sure miss his tasty clawhammer playing.
