A good friend Ray Burgess (Rayhound) died yesterday and I will miss him a
lot. Ray was one of the first 'characters' I met when I went on the road and
began living full-time in a motorhome in 2003. I didn't like being around
him physically because his eating, drinking, smoking, and hygiene simply
grossed me out. But, on the Internet he was a gem, he is still one of the
best Internet Personalities that I have ever known. He devoted most of his
hours to communicating with people over the Internet. He created and
moderated the Yahoo Group "RV Internet by Satellite" that now has thousands
of members that will miss him too.

Ray died while fueling his bus in Lewiston, Idaho. He simply collapsed and
was gone. Nobody could revive him. His son is flying in from Hawaii to take
care of his business. I can see how the price of 120 gallons of fuel could
tend to give a person a heart attack. Especially one living on social
security like Ray.
