RAY HOWELL
Although we knew that our friend Ray Howell was living on
borrowed time, we were still shocked and saddened when his
devoted wife, Befiha, called to tell us that he had passed away in
his home in Hennessey, Oklahoma, after a long illness. Bertha
and Ray were well-known dealers in the 80's and during that time
Ray served three years on the National Board of Directors.
Ray was a gentle man in the truest sense. He always seemed
calm and collected until someone crossed the line that violated
his principles - and then he went into action. Ray will always be
remembered as a man we were proud to call a friend.
To Bertha, his daughters and son, goes our deepest sympathy.
