Very, deeply sad to hear this. I always admired how Ray balanced both -he did his best, treatments-wise, to keep going, and *also* he always had quality of life as a priority.
RIP, friend. Deserved chill out with a red wine glass in hand. I took a look at this thread, with pics of his vacation past year, and I smile.

Thank you, Vicky, for letting us know.

So sad to read this. Ray was another of the "old guard" around here and I am mourning the loss of so many of us. He loved life so much. RIP, Ray.
