Hi everyone,
It’s with a heavy heart that I share some sad news: Ray Garrison has passed away. His wife reached out to let me know.

Ray has been part of our server since September 2005. In that time, he played 12000 games with us and won 23 championships in various games. But more than the numbers, Ray brought genuine enthusiasm, warmth, and good sportsmanship to our tables. He helped make this community what it is. He wrote to me at least once a month with various suggestions and ideas.

Rest in peace, Ray. You’ll be missed. ❤️

Ray will remain for many the true "Monster of Little Golem", winning both editions of the epic tournament. This is why he called himself the "Monster from Hell" in reference to Hell, Michigan where he lived. It's been an honor playing with you Ray!

This is very sad news for me. He was a great player, and I shared so many matches with him. Rest in peace Ray.

Sad news indeed. I played matches with Ray in different games and I think I lost them all. You will be missed.

I keep hoping I read this wrong, but it always reads the same.

Getting crushed at games won't be the same without you being part of it, Ray. I'll miss you.

That is indeed very sad news, me and my brother played many games with him, he was always a very pleasant conversation partner, as well.

Conversing with Ray was one of the reasons why I became enthusiastic about trying new games on the site. He was always very friendly and helpful, and I appreciate his advice greatly. May he rest in peace!

One of the greatest players this website ever had.

Few days ago I sent him a message asking whether everything is ok and I'm so sorry to hear that is not the case. Apart from obviously being a great player, he was truly great conversation partner, willing to share his insights. Without him it will not be the same.

What a sad day for the whole community... I haven't played many games with him but still I was aware of the impact he made for people here.

In Fendo, he pushed the whole game ahead. And I can easily believe he did the same for other games and their communities, too.

Rest in peace, Ray, you'll be missed.

Yes good player, played him at catchup a dozen times, managed just a few wins by somehow linking opposite edges

Since all these years playing with Ray, I was always impressed by the quality of his play in all games and also the posts he made here in the forum.
This is a great loss for our community. Best thoughts for his family.

So sorry to hear this! I have played with Ray in many different games and he has always been one of the strongest players in each of them. R.I.P.

I have only just seen this sad news. Just recently, I was analysing the Dameo games in which Ray and I played together. I cannot believe what has happened; such a player will be sorely lacking. My sincere condolences to Ray's family and friends.

I sure will miss Ray. He was a good and friendly player. It was always nice playing with him.

My condolances to his family.

I had the honour to chat with him on several occassions, exchannging ideas and analysis. Needless to say he defeated me easily in plenty of games :-)
RIP Ray, you will be missed.
