Although his major league career was brief, Ray was a friend to many. He and I had swapped emails going back to 2014 when he came across a custom card I'd done of him. We talked about many things. And I was far from the only one. Ray was a real mensch, one of the best people I've ever come into contact with, even if I never met him in person. He made it his life's work to ensure that his teammates would never be forgotten. And, as explained in this piece, he was thrilled to finally get a Topps card of himself with the Brewers--the team he reached the majors with--earlier this year. It took 50 years, but he finally got it. God speed, Ray. I'll miss you.
