Member Ray in Wenatchee RIP!

[Three44s]

For the past several days I have been trying to contact member Ray in Wenatchee ........

My wife looked up the Wenatchee news paper and there is an obituary. It seems he passed on 12/30/13.

I met Ray Wiggins here on this forum and he was VERY helpful.

I live in the same state and was always welcoming him to come hunt on our ranch but his health never let him get here ........

A good member I'll never get to meet in person ........... gone!

A sad day!

Terrible news; Ray was a wonderful, helpful gentleman.

Thanks for the replies.

I never got to meet Ray in person but he was most kind to me.

Here on this forum, I bought some .220 Swift brass from him and I happened to mention in a PM I was now going to find some dies.

He bounces back: "No problem, I think I have some "laying around" ....... "

I tried to convince him he did not need to do that .......... but he insisted!

Well, it turns out he did not have a spare set ............ so without my knowledge ..... he BUYS a set and then ships them to me.

I felt like he'd really put himself out ........ so for the past several months I was encouraging him to come stay on the ranch and hunt varmints and whatever else was legal.

His health just never let him do that ....... his great love was bench guns and he was not even able to go a local range or at least not much.

RIP our friend Ray

We are diminished.

RIP Ray, the winds where you are will always be warm & gentle yet have no effect on your bullets.

Without a doubt, Ray was a gentleman. He had taken generous time to assist me with some informational research on several occasions. We only dealt via this forum, so I never had the honor of meeting him in person.

Ray will be missed.

Bot some brass and bullets from him. Class guy smooth transaction.

Same here. Very nice & good to deal with. Sorry to hear of his passing.

This saddens me, our ranks have been diminished. May God grant peace to his.
