Animal, a good friend and site admin, passed away this weekend. R.I.P.

I am very sad to hear this. Ray became an admin here about the same time I became an admin at Geeks to Go, but our friendship reaches farther back than that. My condolences to the Bleepingcomputer family. He will be missed.

I had very little interaction with Ray, but as with so many others, I could tell he was a decent guy from what I read of some of his posting.

Sure, with a large community like BC, you do have to get a bit 'firm' at times. But there's ways to do it, and then there's ways.....

My thoughts & condolences go out to his family & loved ones. RIP, Animal.....you won't be forgotten in a hurry.

Heaven's gained a very staunch 'linebacker', I feel!

Mike.

A terrible loss, we need more like Animal here and not less.  Best wishes to the family, he was a kind and helpful person as are many that provide help here for free.

Never know what to say when these things occur and I guess I never will.

So sad.

My thoughts & condolences go out to his family & loved ones.

Well what can I say here that hasnt been said here, I did not know Animal well and we barely interacted but for what I knew of him he was an awesome dude.

For me whenever a forum member passes I like to give the nice klingon farewell:

Tread into the afterlife (if there is any) with honor and glory

I'm a new member here so I didn't know Animal but I just want to add my condolences.

From the messages here you were a much loved Admin and friend.

R.I.P. Animal.

R.I.P. Animal

My sincere condolences.

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family. My sincere condolences for the loss many have with his passing.

Rest in peace my friend

I'm devastated about this news and saddened further on hearing about it so late.  Ray stood head and shoulders above most of the people I've ever met, and was honored to call him a friend.  There are very few like him in this world; kind, forgiving, and had a way of having you get closer to him when you disagreed with him--that's rare.  Ray was BC's best ambassador and things began to run much more smoothly here when he became an admin.  Farewell, my friend, your spirit will live on here at BC but your presence will be missed in ways that are difficult to put into words.  My sincere condolences and prayers for the family.

Say it ain't so. Take care of those wings my friend. I'll always miss you {{{{{ huge hugs }}}}}
