Oh man, I had a hunch what this thread was about when I saw that subject, I just didn't want to believe it  Ray definitly was one of the best people to have on the CEG, and in general a great human being. His wisdom and experience were only surpased by his kindness and humor. He's going to be missed by us all......

I never really got the chance to talk or get to know Ray McNairy, even so I am saddened by his loss. One tradition I have always followed when someone I know or someone I feel is important has been lost, I run with my lights on and the driveing/fog light turned off. I may have never got to know him, but my headlights will be blazing in his honor. -Mark Rowe ------------------ What do you see? Look Again. Do you see Persaverance? Substance? Odds being trampled?

I;m so saddened to hear this. Ray introduced me to contour.org. How we hooked up was a story in itself. Seems Ray would surf on over to the Detroit News web site and answer their weekly cyber polls. One week they printed his response, complaining about lack of good technical help from Ford about his vehicle. I e-mailed him back on a whim assuring him that some folks inside Ford Motor did care, and tried to answer his questions regarding mods to Sofia as often as I could. This was just before I bought my Mystique in early '99 and he had a lot of good input for me right off the bat about the Contique's quirks. We exchanged quite a few e-mails, but not many recently. Now I know why. God Bless you and keep you, Ray.

While he may not be with us, physically, he truly has not left many who are here. His wisdom and example lives on in these forums and in the hearts and minds of those who knew him. Be that relationship one realized in the real world, or only in our cyber community.
While I did not know him, I do understand the loss felt by many in his passing.
He will truly be missed, but certainly not forgotten.
Let us take some comfort in the knowledge that he will suffer no longer.
Tony
