I'd like to thank Lee Ogle for posting about my brother's Bob passing. Thank you to all my friends for caring as this has been a "High" to a "Low" in just one days time. What a great time was had in Branson this past weekend. I called my brother and got to talk to him for a few minutes monday morning about 7:30. He wasn't feeling well so I told him if he needed anything, let me know. He passed about noon from natural causes. Not only was he my brother, but he was my best friend for 68 years. Guys & gals, if you have people that you love and care for, don't be afraid to tell them how much you love and care for them as tomorrow comes fast. Again, thank you to my steel guitar friends and God bless you. Ray

Ray, thank you for sharing those words of wisdom. They made me stop and think about the joy we sometimes take for granted.

So you and Bob were brothers AND best friends. I know you are grateful for that special blessing! And I know it has to be a very, very difficult time for you, Ray. I join the others in prayer for you and your family at this sad time.

God bless and keep you always -
