@raymond-c-king Those who knew Ray King, I just wanted to pass along that he passed away 6/14/19. He was in the hospital for another medical issue, developed complications that kept him in the hospital for a month. During that month he developed pneumonia which his lungs were not able to fight off due to the fibrosis. RIP Ray

Thank you for sharing this very sad news Paula. My heart is with Ray’s family during this tough time, I can only imagine the difficulty they are facing. My only hope now is that he is free of pain. I certainly will miss conversing with him and our “three peas in a pod” email exchanges. I am very sad, may you rest in peace my friend Ray. xo Charlene.
In a later email, his son had asked me to pass along the news of Ray passing. I told him I did right after I got his first email. Told him how the three of us emailing each other for the past several months. I also said I hope that the process his mom had made in her recent health issues did not take a backwards step when Ray passed. Like you, I hope he is no longer in pain. I will definitely miss hearing from him.
Me too Paula, me too. Just seems so unfair and hard to believe a comment from him, or that an email won’t pop up into my inbox with his pleasant chatter. I loved corresponding with him! I’m sure he’d want us to continue chatting and keeping his memory alive. I’ll email you back right now, I know I’ve been lacking on that. Thanks again for sharing this news, and may our friend be at peace now.
