When I would come into chat Ray would address me as Miss Brandy and I would respond to him as Mr Jack.When I went into chat the other day to find him he was not there,so I figured he was busy doing something eles and I would catch up with him later.Still no Mr Jack.I was again sure I would see him later.Then for some reason I clicked onto the message board.That was then I noticed what had happened to my new found friend.It wasnt the the first time mind you.This time we had decided to find out who was the better dancer.I'll never get to get to find that out now Jack so please save me a dance when I meet you in Heaven darlin

I just read about Jack (Tombstonejack) that he passed away! R.I.P. Jack My condolences to the family Tony

Admin...Jack was no ES rat and you stop saying that! Wait, he did mention he was now in the ES witness protection program...hmmmm >mw<

Ray and Admin go way back and many of us know him in his wilder days as Joker or Heehaw. But as TombstoneJack Ray seemed to really enjoy ES and appreciate the site. He also seemed really happy living in Mexico and --I never thought I'd say this-- Ray had become an exemplary member of ES. He loved chatting with friends, sharing his poems, and being a good friend to many. Whenever he suspected a scammer he would always let Admin know and even offer to let other the members in chat know the status. We both knew he was the reincarnate of Joker and Heehaw but we never mentioned it. I had grown fond of TombstoneJack, and I was very sorry to hear the news. And like most of his friends, I was in shock by how sudden it was. I feel like I was just getting to know the real Ray, and like many members also feel the loss. I will include the last poem Ray posted on the message board in an email to our members. Rest in Peace Ray. You WILL be missed by your many ES friends.

Jack is now writing among the stars....if we look up, we might just see his writings trailing through the stars above.....he ran much deeper than so many realized, or were willing to find out. Godspeed Jack.....heaven and earth a just a verse apart.....you are missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Rays family. Enjoyed his visits so much. Cynde

R.I.P. Jack, you will be missed. Cindi

I'm very sorry to hear of your passing Ray....really enjoyed your banter in chat lately. I guess you won our bet - that you wouldn't get booted off ES again! But hey, we set a 1 year time.... no fair ducking out before your time was up and you had to pay me ya brat!! RIP my friend... Cindy

Im so shocked by this! We lost bushy and now jack. Tell Bushy we all said hi and we miss him and you take care too jack. Im glad I got to know you.-Jennie
