A few weeks ago, I had written to Mr Decker, to ask him if he would have been interested in selling any functional 8mm cameras. I wondered why he had not written me back & I just found out about his passing and though I never knew him, I was saddened by it. Thanks so much for this post.

Penpal is exactly what I thought of when you explained how you started your friendship! Video penpals, and keeping it up so long is truly amazing and such an interesting story!

I heard of Kerry Decker through my boyfriend, John Reagan, who I think found a true soul mate in Kerry Decker-even though he never knew him! The interests, passion and even that first video letter to you remind me of John a lot!

I'm loving the 80s titles! And omg were they all video tapes behind you!? Impressive!

Loving the matching shirts in the last clip too! Oh man, I should have come over here and watched all this earlier. Fascinating story!

On to part 2 :)

Hey Ray, haven't been on YouTube in quite some time, so I just found out about Kerry this AM. I never got to meet him in person, but was hoping to when I moved to Florida. This was a wonderful tribute, yet again you've outdone yourself, thanks for posting. RIP Kerry, you will be missed.

Beautiful tribute. Unmatchable actually. This is a shock for me. He corresponded with me and was a real as a human being could get. R.I.P. Kerry. Thanks for keeping his memory alive.

I just got word last night that my friend Kerry passed away. I am shocked beyond belief. . Last time we communicated was when we were coming up with plans for his show on the final space shuttle launch this September. This was apparently 2 days before he passed away. Kerry was very enthusiastic about the project. He was going to do a "Night Life" themed show going back in time showing his footage of Columbias launch and fast forward to present day. We all will miss him.

RIP Kerry. :(

I heard the news on Kerrys birthday when I atempted to write on his Facebook wall and wishing him a happy birthday. I actually never met him in person but we have been penpals scence late 2007. I think someone should keep up uploading videos on his channel. He wrote me that he had a huge video library.
