I was just reading that article. Uncle Ray is one of my favorite authors, and he was quite the gentleman. I'll certainly miss him.

I had the pleasure of meeting him at a local book signing in the late 90's; he stayed after to read some writing I had on me.... the man was a real Gentleman.
He lived in Santa Barbara at the time.
Rest in peace, Ray.. thank you for helping me keep on the creative path.

“....we should go back to the moon... We should never have left there. We should go to the moon and prepare a base to fire a rocket off to Mars and then go to Mars and colonize Mars. Then when we do that, we will live forever.”
“It’s been 90 god-damned incredible years.... Every day I’ve loved it. Because I’ve remained a boy. The man you see here is a 12-year-old boy, and the boy is still having fun....... You remain invested in your inner child by exploding every day. You don’t worry about the future, you don’t worry about the past, you just explode. If you are dynamic, you don’t have to worry about what it is you are. I’ve remained a boy, because boys run everywhere, they never look back, they run everywhere, they keep running running running. That’s me, the running boy.”
We have lost a literary giant and national treasure.

A great storyteller. The universe just got a little smaller.
