Just wanted to let our AC friends know that Ray O’Neil
passed away this past weekend. My dad worked with AC tractors and machinery for
over 60 years and he loved it. He was on the Allis Forum every day and enjoyed
the friends he made and the time he spent talking AC. Our family made many a
trip to the “Days of Orange” over the years, hoping to sell, but always tending
to buy more : ) A big thank you to this
site and his fellow AC friends. He’ll be driving his D19 in Heaven now.

Prayers for the family so sorry for your loss. I am glad we went to see him a couple weeks ago he did look rough but still wanted me to see his Allis collection ones he used and others he was taking down. We were talking about the lathrop swap meet when we would visit again.

My condolences and prayers go out to you and the family. May God bless and keep him and you and the family during this difficult time. I too spent some time on the phone with he. He was a very knowledgeable AC enthusiast. I bought quite a few things from him along the way. May God have an Allis bone yard ready for him to work on.
