R. L. Heikes R.I.P.
I'm so sorry to have to tell you all this. You all meant the world to Ray. He passed this morning at around 7am. He fought hard. He was in a world of pain for months. I don't have the right words right now. I just want to thank you all for your donations, for your support, all of it. Please know that any of the leftover donations are going towards his burial. I love you Ray always and forever-Tom

I don't have the words either. Ray's been a compatriot for years. I'm genuinely going to miss him.
Thank you, Tom.

Re: R. L. Heikes R.I.P.
Tom my utmost condolences, You have been an absolute Saint these past several difficult Months for Ray. I bought a few items off Ray the last few years and he was always a pleasure to talk with and deal with a true straight shooter and I admired him greatly as did everyone who had the honor of even knowing him slightly.
Ray, you will be missed...Rest in Peace Brother...
Tom....well done...
