Yeah, I'm posting about myself (no not an ego trip). ;)

I'm known to give thing away to people or if not give them a great deal on things. I don't believe I've reamed any one in their pocket in terms of trades or sales.

Anyway - I've been trying to get some people to take some gear (for free) and I think they may thing I am some pyscho stalker or something .... lol. I'm a bit depressed at times and very anti-social (won't go to cookouts) as a general rule. My greatest passion is FOOD. :D

So those who have met me in person can you just verify to these leary people that I'm an OTAY. :)

No ... this isn't a roast or chance at public ribbing. Thanks for your help. :)

Beware...He is the Hannibal Lecter of Striped-Bass.Com. He once gutted a bluefish and ate it w/ Fava beans and a nice glass of Chanti


All Joking aside, I've gotten stuff from him in the past and he is a Stand Up Guy.......donated a bunch of Rod/Reels to the Kids Program at Plum Island Surfcasters. No Need to worry. :kewl:

Ray's a good guy, he only kills people on Thursdays, or Fridays if there was a holiday on the preceding Monday.

I've got free stuff from Ray, I'm still alive. Rays the man! (except for the killing people thing, but he's trying to quit) Thanks again!

ray is good people. Ive traded gear with him in the past, and every once in awhile we'll exchange a quick email or two joking about stuff etc. He's good people.. Plus he makes these Killer wrenches!!!! I've even seen him fish once!!!! :hihi:

Jeez - if it will make you feel THAT much better :hihi:

I can say from my experience, Ray is one of the finest people I've met on this or any other site. He's very quick to help out a fellow fisherman in any way he can. I've had some very difficult times this year and Ray has been supportive beyond measure. Not just with sales, trades, give aways or any of that sort. Whenever I call him, he always makes time to listen and chat and share stories. I've called and talked about my own ongoing medical issues, family problems or just to say hi. Even if he's at work, he'll take the time to talk.
Don't sweat it Ray. No matter what anyone thinks, you're good people.
Love ya Bro.:kewl:

Ray is a wonderful guy,ALWAYS the first to offer very helpful advice.He goes out of his way in that regard.

Ray is a totally stand up kind of guy. If you go to pick something up from him you always seem to leave with more than you agreed upon. The man has a heart of gold and I am proud to know him.

BigBo tells me Ray is good folk! I believe him!:btu:

Ray is AOK... no agenda at all, if he's giving you something.. it's 'cause he want to , and thats.. that.

he gave me a mini drill press, even delivered it! :kewl:

ALL LIES - I use my victims as chum for lobsters. ;)

Thanks, folks .......... I'm blushing.

I'm content with a simple "thank you". My agenda is to clear out my cellar before I die ..... LOL.

Karma goes a LONG way IMHO. :D

ray is cool in my book- :D

ray is cool in my book- :D

word. :bo:

bump for the leary ! I'm still trying. :)

thanks S-B.
