Passing of a good friend and Great Flyer
I regret to inform you that our good friend Ray Rhodes of Groves, Texas suddenly passed away this morning. Those of you from the Texas and Louisiana Districts may know Ray. He flew in the Masters Class and has been a part of the RC community for 40+ years. He was right at 70 years old and STILL a great flyer until he passed this morning without warning. Those of you that knew him know what an exceptional man he was and one of those guys that every person he came in contact immediately liked and respected. He is one of the best TRUE friends I have ever had and my regular practice partner. He will be very sorely missed.
Funeral Arrangements are initally being handled at Levingston Funeral Home in Port Neches, Texas.
