The Passing Of Ray Lincoln

KARN Newsradio and Citadel Broadcasting are morning the loss of Little Rock radio personality Ray Lincoln. As a recent resident of the city, I learned quickly about the legend of Ray and was amazed when I finally got to meet the man that most of it was true--and possibly under-exaggerated.

My favorite moment with Ray is actually from a few months ago, when he stopped to talk to me and my stepson in the hall way and explained how after his heart transplant, he was now responsible for the upkeep of his new heart and his promise to the family of the young organ donor to take good care of it. No other explanation of being grateful for second chances had every made as much sense.

Ray Lincoln was born March 6th, 1942 and died today at home. He was 64-years-old.

We invite you to leave a reply with you fondest memories of Ray or best wishes to the family.


Update 9/19/06: For those who missed it, here is a link to some audio from this morning's First News with Neal Gladner giving a few words on Ray Lincoln. Also, his obituary can be viewed at the Roller-Chenal Funeral Home website.
