In Memory of Raymond 

 

Scott’s dedicated the Playing 21 Program to the memory of his Father, Raymond.  Having passed away on April 20th, 2002, Ray sadly missed the results of the project.  When he became ill he was one week from seeing Vegas, a city he loved, one last time.  He was clearly the inspiration, and instilled the love of gaming that is found in Scott.  Ray was a truly loving person who loved all his children with everything he had.  He placed passion into the things he enjoyed, which included playing cards.

The classic memories everyone with this team has of Ray make us smile each time we think of them.  The list truly goes on forever.  His laugh is missed.  The way Edward could trick him with those practical jokes where he'd spit up his drink every single time.  Hell, we even miss his mood swings, like telling Jr. and Scott to “Stop the F%&%ing car, I’ll walk.”  (P.S.--I know for a fact he was so damned  stubborn he would have walked if I had stopped the car. --Scott)

Ray believed in the project, and believed that we were right.  He anxiously awaited the results.  Well, the results are in and we were right.  We are all happy to associate our hard work with someone who had such a love for what we were all doing.  This project is for you Dad.  We love you.
