Below is a video called New Years Eve. Kadizzle loves songs with good lyrics. A song writer that can put together music and words in perfect fashion is to be admired. Listen to the song and hopefully you can hear the lyrics. In our temporary home my old friend Ray left me a nice stereo system. That means Kadizzle gets to sit here in front of the fireplace Ray built and peck away on this computer. Kadizzle misses Ray and never thought the day would come that Kadizzle would be temporary living in Ray's house. He was an incredible man with so many talents. His son Brian has been so gracious to us. Ray built his own cannon with the utmost of detail and authenticity. At Ray's memorial we fired the cannon out in the front yard here. Ray went out with a bang, and he lived his life with a bang. Ray told it like it is. Kadizzle often recalls a story Ray told. In Beulah Ray waited in line at a store. Somehow Ray got in a conversation with someone in line about politics. The person he was talking too was a typical redneck Republican. After politely trying to reason with the may Ray gave up and simply said to the man " Your a f**king idiot". Ray generally stayed away from politics, but he knew where the bear did it's thing in the woods. Ray did so many civic projects few people know about. One day when we were building the Pocket Park in Hazen Kadizzle told Ray he was having a problem making certain bricks fit in the patio. Ray went to Stanton got his tools and came back and did a nice job of giving the patio a finished look. That was Ray. Now here Kadizzle sits in front of Ray's fire thinking of the past and all the good things about Ray. Ray loved to solve problems. When Kadizzle had to fix the hatch slide on the boat Ray took care of it. Kadizzle needed an oddly shaped piece of wood. Ray took on the challenge and made the wood. About 75 feet away is the room where Ray died. The world needs a lot more Rays and a lot fewer right wingers.
