George Ray filled our live's

-
Gee, Mike, I'm so sorry to hear this news.

He sounds like the kind of guy that you'd expect to live forever. Or at least, you'd want him to.

I will cherish my George Ray t-shirt, and wear it with pride.

Give our best to his family. I'm sure they're fine with you showing up tie-less, George knows how you are.

Cheers, my friend.
 
And to think i was fortunate to spend the day of his passing with one of his buddies, MeMike, and see his track the first time on the day of his passing. I'm a fortunate individual for knowing, and being with one of his close friends on that very day. Thanks Mike

That was weird Bill, I thought something looks different at his place with all the car's in the car port huddled up that day we drove by the track.

Here is something I want to share here that a man drew of George

The good ol days, George built three of these cars and kept the one you see in my pictures. A wild ride to say the least I made a couple rides down the track with him.

Sorry for the loss of george MeMike and thank you for sharing all of the stories and pic's about him and his dragstip with us,prayers on the way
 
Mike I'm sorry to hear you lost a good friend and a great racing icon. I doubt that George will care if you wear a tie or not, he'll be grinnin' just to see you there. Prayers sent for George and his surviving family.

Thank you DRENO, There is a big family of folks that enjoyed George Ray for a bunch of years.
 
This thread is a great tribute to George Ray. I really like the "Celebration of Life" cards......

Here's a pic I saved from one of your threads awhile ago of George's track. I loved the pic then and even more now.
