T-Bone will be missed , but not forgotten.
Tim Rayl was sent to this earth, as an angel from
God, to Jim & Nancy Rayl, to love and care for until that time when
he would be called back home. He was a typical young man, who loved to
intertain others. He was a man who had feelings for his friends and family.
He cared about others, and he showed that care by being there for others
when they needed to get that little push to go on. Tim will be greatly
missed by his mother and dad and brothers and sister, as well as all the
rest of the wonderful family he grew up with. He will be remembered by
his friends & family in that "The Tim Rayl Basketball Athletic Scholarship Fund" was started for Kokomo High
School in his name ,for the purpose of helping basketball players, pursuing a higher education. You won,t forget him, because he cared about others, and his love goes
on. His parents, Jim and Nancy are strong, and they will survive this loss,because they will see him again.
Tim was a good basketball player, for Kokomo High school, as was his brothers, and his father,Jimmy"Splendid Splinter" Rayl. To be a wildkat is the dream of most young people here in Kokomo, and the Rayl family made their dream come true. Tim played in the 1989 state finals, as did his father in 1959.
And so we will miss this young man, but we will carry on the torch, so that his memory will always be there for us to use as a tool to be happy at what you do, and to intertain those who need that little push to get going.
This writer sometimes wonders why things like this happens, but because
of my belief in God, I feel that Tim is home with God and that we will
see him again.

It has been two years since this young man's life here on earth was ended. I feel that he is probaly intertaining those up there who have gone before him and since that night. And I know that Louie Armstrong is still singing that wonderful song that Tim like, "Wonderful World". They both are probaly putting on a great show. See you one day, my friend, keep them smiling. And to Jim and Nancy, I say , stay strong , and keep the chain tight.
July 20,2001;
I wanted to place a picture of Tim on this memorial, and recieved one from the Rayl family, and it is posted above , and it shows young Tim as a typical teen-ager, who had fun in this place we call earth. A picture can say a thousand words and this one does. It is Tim at one of his fun times enjoying life as it is. One day, we shall all meet again with him and "The Great Father"
"The Doors Of Friends Are Always Open"
