Rest In Peace Ray Corso

[The Old LefHook]

Ray, you are the #1 boxing expert on this site. I have learned much from you. Here's hoping you can stick around a while, kid.

Hello fans of boxing I see the bickering continuous about height & weight and age! :3some:
I have run into some bad luck with health becoming a main issue.
Here's my latest "resume" to shorten this thread and put it into perspective.
Oct 27 Colon Cancer not to serious a quick help to lighten up the "Divers" I've been struggling with for a few years.
Dec. 23 Lung Cancer with a robot twist to detach my lung from smashed ribs some 20 years prior to cancer. Things went well for a 7 hour adventure (I was sleeping)
Dec. 29 the amount of bed and chair use was extreme so we decided to go for a complete hip replacement. They found the same Cancer under ever spec of hip so that become a problem during the operation. Got it cleaned out and the Sarasota Mem. Hospital staffs are the best I've encountered. The poor med choices I had received throughout the months was wearing me out. The staff at the Sarasota Mem. detoxed me in the hospital and replace every singe med in use at the rehab that came close to destroying me.
Finally heading for Moffitt Cancer in Tampa in the end of Jan. I was told I was FREE of the disease........................:wank: yeah

Not true from the mighty Moffitt into Radiation and Chemo right now! I feel pretty good other than fatigue being the biggest problem. I use a walker when outside my home no matter what and scoot around in my wheel chair at home.

I think of children's burn wards and how 6 year old kids fight the fight, I'm with them! I'll be ok thanks for the inquiries from Jaded and Young John Scully.
Ring the damn Cancer Bell I'm right here ready.
It come after me 20 years ago too and took a kidney back then. I'm 5-0 vs Cancer.
Not bad! It's invisible at the beginning!

Hey fellows try not to degrade fighters by calling them cowards and all the silly nonsense that goes on here far to much. It helped me not miss the old joint.

bless to you, health too,
Ray Corso

Ray....
I’m praying to the GOD of Abraham Issac and Jacob...
I’m a ***.... keep your spirits up.....

Shalom...

Ray, my people from USA to Israel praying for your rapid recovery.

Jhonny loves reading your keen insight and historical information, things that stats, and video clips can’t convey.

You make fights come alive..

God Bless you Sensei

I have some very sad news concerning our Ray Corso. I tried to contact him via direct email yesterday and today received the following response form his wife.

"Hello, this is Ray's wife. Ray lost the battle. He passed away in April. I know he enjoyed being on your forum. He was passionate about boxing. I miss him too. Norma"

RIP Ray Corso. Sadly missed.

R.I.P. Ray Corso. A good man in the end and a wealth of boxing knowledge is sadly lost.

I always avoided arguments with the older members of the site. You never know what's going on in real life and you don't want to end things on a bad note as you may not get the chance to make things right. Ray's last post was on March 31st, apparently he passed on the very next month.

a tremendous loss

Very sad news.

A loss for everybody, Rest In Peace Ray Corso!
