Came here to say that I've been with this case for the entire 16 years, posted very frequently until the scant info dried up.
I don't know how the missing people I never met work their way into my long-term memory and my heart, but some of them do.
Primarily, RFG with such intelligence and maturity.
As long as your case is unsolved and I have breath and sense, I will remember you, Ray Gricar, and pray that you have or had a good life up until the very last. That you knew joy, love, productivity on your own terms, continued to help people, formed meaningful and lasting relationships which brought you peace above all in the past.
I pray that you never went without what you needed or wanted within reason, that you were able to stay true to your own value system and were respected wherever you went for your high intellect and standards. I hope you learned about a personal Savior and have walked with Him through the years. I know you have been surrounded by angels on earth, for I've seen visions of this perfect help and blessing.
You occupy a special place in my heart. I've spent 16 years searching on the Internet, and hours spent talking to My dear Friend and Fellow Poster J.J. here about your life for many informative, discourses, and sometimes tearful on my part conversations over the years. I lived too far away to come and see for myself where you shopped, walked, drove, lived and worked. J.J. filled me in on that part early on with his photos from Lewisburg. Not a day goes by that I don't wonder where you are and how you are, or if you know perfect peace in heaven now and forever more.
Ray Gricar, you life has always had meaning, and matters still. Special hopes and prayers for a peaceful resolution in God's time.
