I just learned today that Raymond Gonzalez of Columbus, GA, passed away a few months ago from an agressive cancer that was discovered in late 2025. I have no futher info, no birthdate nor date of death. I've been told there is no obituary because Raymond didn't want one.
There will a celebration of life for Raymond at his home in Columbus on July 23, but I have no additional info.

What sad news.
He was such a nice guy and a terrific racer.

Ernie,
It was Keith Bernstein who let me know. He's the person who deserves your thanks.
