dCarver's Peep o' the Week 2013-12-20

[dcarver]

I like to honor FjrForum Peeps that make me smile, that I respect - those who contribute and are basically good humans.

This week, I'd like to share my Thanks of Friendship to Ray, FJRay by forum handle.

This man has not only been a friend to many here on the forum, but is also contributing member in the community he lives in by starting the 'Reuben Run' bash that brings in dollars to the small town, and also fun and smiles to the riders that attend.

If you've not met Ray, he has that kind of 'Harley 1%'er' intimidating look what with the big fella size, ZZ-Top beard, and piercing eyes. But once you get past that, you find he's really simply a good human who has raised a family, lived a hellion life style and survived it. Most importantly, lived through it, made corrections, and is a better man for those good decisions.

Ray, at Crater Lake.

Ray, with daughter. Trust me, she has the same level of spunk as Dad...

I like this Pix of Ray..

Serious business, riding motobike with kin riding pillion.

I don't care if this sounds corny.

Many peeps on this forum have touched my life.

Almost all touches have been positive.

Meeting and knowing Ray has definitely been a +100 experience.

Ray, Kudos!

Well Don, I'll raise a glass with you to Ray. Ray can toast with sarsaparilla.

 

[FastJoyRide]

Finest kind (and why Patti puts up with him is a mystery to us all!)

All the best of the Season!

Lotz of 'Rays' here it seems

FJRay looks like he sampled a few beers in his time, maybe someday I'll tip some w him and I'm sure i would learn a lot!

 

[Bustanut joker]

Great call Don! Ray, Patti, the kids, and his whole menagerie of critters are a wonderful group.

I can't say the same for the cok nibblers I spent my first night there with though...

This last trip was far more relaxing!

Speaking of HotRodZilla, did you get AJ's Christmas Card yet; mine arrived yesterday, Miss 'C' takes a fabulous Feliz Navidad photograph ese! JSNS!

+100 to what's been said. Ray was one of the first FJR peeps/nuts I met,

seems like a long time ago.

 

[Joe]

Have to agree with Don.

Ray is just a great guy.

He helped Cec and I at the last Ruben Run with camper problems

Thanks Ray for two great Ruben Runs.

 

[wheatonFJR]

I have to agree...Ray is a good one-of-a-kind dude.

Ray is one of the first people I met at WFO4 up in Skagit valley. He took a group of us on a ride through the San Juan Islands. Since then he has been a constant positive force here. In Reno and Park city while we all slept he kept watch over our rides by arranging a security group. He's the first to help someone out, traveling many miles to do so. So I too, salute FJRay.

Ray would get my vote for Peep of the Year.
