Ray's Familiy is in our prayers

Horrible news! As a flight instructor, I have had three, now four friends die in their own planes. It's a thrill something that some of us love, but when something goes wrong, it can go horribly wrong sometimes. Kim and I especially are saddened for Jana and his kid's loss. He will be sorely missed by them and many, many more loved ones and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ray's family.

Thanks for posting the link to the Commemorative Air Force website. Nice article and some added details of the accident.

Shocked and saddened. Margaret and I have a difficult time with the realism of all of this. Ray was my very first 'Natural gas and Leasing advisor" a few years back.
If Ray knew ''anything about anything'' , he was always willing to share..

RIP Ray. My condolences to the family. Sad I never got to meet you!

Well, even though Ray didn't always hang out with us, he ALWAYS treated his GT brothers like family when he was with us. I am so sad this happened. What a nice guy and lovely family.

No words can describe the feelings of sadness we all have today. Thank you Dave for a beautiful tribute to Ray. God Bless this Forum and its members. We all have Janna and the Boys in our Prayers. Tomy & Sue Hamon

Shelby,

Thanks for the link. I personally know the restorers of the Sea Fury (the Ezells) in Breckenridge, TX. The Sea Fury was previously owned by Howard Pardue who also unfortunately died in the crash of a Bearcat 2 years ago. This news is horrible. Ray was a true gentleman. RIP.

One of the beautiful things about fordgtforum is that we get to catch a glimpse into the lives of some extraordinary people. I've always enjoyed reading about Ray's accomplishments and passions, and he was obviously a real class-act. Even though I've never met him, this news made me feel a real loss, much like when I read about Bony's passing. Godspeed, Ray, and my prayers to your family.

One thing about the Ford Gt Forum,a class act !
Kudos to DBK!

 

[TO AWSUM]

Sad indeed. Condolences to the family.

 

[GTJack]

Very sad. Loved GTs and all things fast. Rest In Peace, brother.

Very sad news Ray was one of the first people I meant at my first rally in N.O.

 

[PittsburghRT]

I am so shocked and saddened to read this. I had the pleasure to talk to Ray years back when he was part of the Viper community. He was such a friendly and generous guy. RIP Ray. My condolences to his family.

Words cannot express the feelings, emotions, and sadness that take place at a time like this.
Our warmest thoughts and prayers go out to Janna and the boys - God Bless You.
Ray Hofman – A Gentleman’s Gentleman - Rest In Peace.

Tragic news. My prayers are with his family to get thru this most difficult of times.

DBK can you move this thread next to Bony's? I know he wasn't an admin, but he did great things to keep pushing the car forward as well as this group.

 

[txviper]

Please do, that would mean a lot to him and his family.

Very sorry to hear this. I had the pleasure of meeting him in Utah. What a great guy. I wish his family the best and know he will be watching over them. RIP
