Terrell Ray Mullis December 5th, 1938 – March 8th, 2014
The Mullis family lost a loving man and mentor. Most everyone I talked to that knew him well had the most marvelous stories to tell, and it was obvious that he was greatly admired, and cared for. I only met T. Ray once. I’d been told that on my 30 year search for the perfect cheeseburger I had to try the one from T-Ray’s Burger Station. When I arrived at a converted gas station I could hardly get in for all the cars parked out front, and the long line at the counter. Diane Oliver my sister-in-law took me in and introduced me to T-Ray, he treated me as if we had been friends for years. I’m so thrilled that I got a picture with him and his son, and other members of their staff. We had a great visit and I really looked forward to seeing him again!
The burger was fantastic, good enough to reign as the number one burger in America for a while. In honor of T-Ray, I’m ranking it Number One again today. While my introduction to this family was through some ground beef, cheese, and a bun, obviously there was much more to this man’s life than a burger and fries. In talking to his family and friends I could sense the deep loss. Should it be said of us all that when we are gone from here, that we leave a hole in people’s hearts. T-Ray’s life filled many hearts with joy!
I bet he is making some burgers on the grill tonight for his “Bull Dawg buddies”! There has to be football in heaven!
Thanks Ray, Go Dawgs, and know we miss you!
Blessings,
the pilgrim

Sorry to hear this news. Like the eclectic look of his diner — including the Packers helmet!
It is unique, just like he was!
Bill, Charles Kuralt once said that when America runs out of characters, it will have lost its character. Unfortunately we keep moving in that direction.
I think sadly that is true, and you are right!
I do trust all the ideas you have presented
in your post. They are very convincing and
can certainly work. Still, the posts are very short for beginners.
Could you please extend them a bit from subsequent time?
Thank you for the post.

I have found a company which offers to dramatically improve your website rankings and traffic to your site: http://anders.ga/-fn4j I managed to get close to 1000 visitors/day using their services, you could also get a lot more targeted visitors from search engines than you have now. Their service brought significantly more traffic to my website. I hope this helps!
