quote:

New Orleans-native Ray Brandt, who built a network of auto dealerships in the region among his other businesses and philanthropic endeavors, has died at 72.

His family announced his death through a statement Friday morning.

"It is with great sadness that our family says goodbye to Ray Brandt, a man who was loved by many and cherished his family and the friendships he fostered over his well lived life," the statement said.

"Ray, who was 72 years young, was surrounded by family and passed peacefully in his home. Our family asks for your prayers and continued support for the many charitable causes and organizations that he proudly supported. Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date and time."

He's reformed. Ronnie has a set of pipes that needs to be heard throughout this time of sin.

They said he couldn't comment because he was gravely ill. They weren't bullshitting.

Previous owners are Sicilian. Ray messed around where he shouldn't.

Took me a while to figure out you're saying he's dead.

which begs the question... who actually bought Pascal Manale's?

I'd figure it hard to make a large purchase like a local landmark while gravely ill

Actually quite easy. Attorney probably handled the transaction.

The funeral home should charge for an undercoating on the coffin

Anyone find this timing odd? Why buy a restaurant if you're on the verge of death?

Probably knew he was dying, buys Pascal's and then donates it to his nephew or whoever the family member was that worked there. NO tax on inheritance.

Ray Brandt didn't have any children of his own, his wife had the two kids from another marriage.

By all accounts of people I know that knew him he was a wonderful person.

I wonder if he opted to get leather or cloth interior for the coffin, and did he get floor mats.

Did they also pressure his family for an extended warranty on the coffin?
