Ray was a super guy. I will listen to the CD he sent me when I get home from work this evening. Rest In Peace, Ray! My prayers are with your family. Our next collaboration will have to be only in spirit; your influence remains.

Peace...

I for one will miss Ray very much. I played on a couple of his CDs and although I never met the gentleman I did speak with him a couple of times on the phone.

God bless Ray Thigpen.

PS – OCC would you see that Paule gets a copy of this. Thank you so much.

So sad to hear, I never knew Ray but read many of his posts and his tutorial he had done. He was a kind gentleman and will be missed.
GOD bless you Ray

I also did not know Ray well, but have always appreciated and respected what I've seen of his input on this forum.

Vale Ray Thigpen.

My sincere condolences to Ray's family.

I was upset when I heard about this. When I first started with my music here, I talked with Ray about a number of things, and collaborated with him.

Too soon. Too damn soon.

I'm so sad for Ray's family. I've always said that the measure of my success, in life, would be determined by answering the question..."Is the world a better place because you were here?"

Ray was a very successful man.

I also never knew Ray personally but his tutorial was a Godsend to me when I first got RB. He will be missed here. My prayers go out to his family for comfort in their grief.

This is indeed very sad news.

I just looked up Ray's entry on the User List. He registered in 2003, and was ranked in the top 30 of forum users by post count.

His contributions will be greatly missed.

I had lots of communications with Ray outside of the forum, his advice and guidance was freely given, and his critcism accepted by me with thanks & acted upon.
In Ray's memory, and with respect, I'd like to pass on the below link to Ray performing on YouTube.
It will bring a tear to your eye.

I'll miss you buddy.
