Thank you guys for all the kind words. It is very hard for me to deal with. I didn't just lose my father, I lost my best friend. Anyone who reads this is more than welcome to attend his services. He loved his Power Tour and BangShift friends with all his heart!

Ray....we will always remember your smile and your kind words. I know in my heart though, that you are finally at peace. See you at the river.
FSK and myself will be at the Comfort Inn on US90 in Luling arriving late thursday.
The snow melts on the mountain
And the water runs down to the spring,
And the spring in a turbulent fountain,
With a song of youth to sing,
Runs down to the riotous river,
And the river flows on to the sea,
And the water again
Goes back in rain
To the hills where it used to be.
And I wonder if Life's deep mystery
Isn't much like the rain and the snow
Returning through all eternity
To places it used to know.
For life was born on the lofty heights
And flows in a laughing stream
To the River below
Whose onward flow
Ends in a peaceful dream.
And so at last,
When our life has passed
And the river has run its course,
It again goes back,
O'er the selfsame track
To the mountain which was its source.
So why prize life
Or why fear death,
Or dread what is to be?
The river ran its allotted span
Till it reached the silent sea.
Then the water harked back to the mountaintop
To begin its course once more.
So we shall run the course begun
Till we reach the silent shore,
Then revisit earth in a pure rebirth
From the heart of the virgin snow.
So don't ask why we live or die,
Or whither, or when we go,
Or wonder about the mysteries
That only God may know.

Maybe I can clear this up.....I thought the cop was a prostitute.
We have a family friend offering 2 rooms at their house for anyone to stay in if they are coming down for my dads funeral. Please PM me and I'll send you the details.
I'm sorry I just got back online and to find out the sad news about Ray. All I can do is comfort you Blake with a great big hug. Your dad was a wonderful man and he will be missed as everyone is saying. We will be at the Big Bear Car Show this weekend and our club will toast Ray. I lost my dad 9 months ago and we will bury him in 2 weeks, so I know what you are going through and how you feel. And nothing anyone says can make you feel better or change anything..Now is the real time to be strong to get through this sad time for you and your family. Stay strong Brother, now is the time others will need you..RIP Ray..
I just love my Hot Rods.
Long Hauled 2009,2010,2011,2012 and 2013. Loved every minute of it.
Does anyone have a Power Tour 2006 & 2007 keychain? The one they give you in your goodie bag. I am sending my dad off with a set of keys to the Lightning. 2006 was our first year and 2007 was the year my mom went with us. I already have a 2010 keychain, which was the last year we went on the tour. if you have these PM me and I'll pay to have them overnight shipped to me. Thanks!
