Razz considered Boys Ranch, and everyone involved as his family.  He thoroughly enjoyed a dinner 2 weeks ago with many of his Boys Ranch family from near and far meeting in Amarillo to show their love and support for him.  He also loved attending music festivals and fishing any chance he got.  He was looking forward to planting flowers on his back patio as the weather warmed up.

Razz lived his life his way and passed his way.
