Here's a media account that does a better job with Mr. O'Gara's name:

One of the worst stories I've encountered on these boards.

Hi Everyone,

 

My name is Jon O'Gara, Ray O'Gara's brother.

 

Ray was murdered on November 28th.

 

As you can imagine this has been an extremely difficult time for my family.

 

Some of you may have Ebay transactions pending with Ray. Unfortunately, you now know why Ray hasn't completed them.

 

Anyways, please feel free to PM me with any questions.

 

- Jon

Sorry for your loss.

Hi All,

 

I want you all to know I'll be working diligently to try and get any pending transactions you had with my brother taken care of. I just ask you be patient with me while I figure all this out. No time is "convenient" for something like this to happen, particularly around the holidays. And to say the least, I haven't been able to sleep in days.

 

Ray was very passionate about comic books. If any of you are from the Chicago area you may have been in one of two (2) stores he co-owned throughout the years. While I know nothing about the business I can tell you that Ray had a keen and honest eye for grading/pricing books. I hope you all had a pleasurable experience dealing with him via this forum or Ebay.

 

I'm unsure what I'll be doing with his comics, action figures, collectibles, etc. Any help pointing me in the right direction where these are concerned would be helpful.

 

Ray was a class act and would never want any of you to pay for something he couldn't deliver on, so please bear with me while I sort this all out. Thank you for your patience, kindness, and understanding during this very sad and confusing time.

 

Jon O'Gara

I'd like to thank all of you for your kindness.

 

Because of the circumstances involving Ray's death I have yet to even go to his house to start gathering his personal things. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin when it comes to his enormous comic collection. I will however do my best to get any pending transactions sorted out, though it may take me some time.

 

Again, thank you all for your warmheartedness & understanding.

 

Jon O'Gara

 

obviously Ray's awesomeness runs in the family.....kudos for taking time to come here to fill us in. I'm so sorry for your loss. GOD BLESS...
