I've lost touch, but knew him well then. We were in a choir and a musical together. He was a townie and his folks would invite me to lunch at their house after church on Sundays. We did our share of drinking together. We were good buds.

According to the Bacon Oracle:

"Ray Roderick has a Bacon number of 2.

Ray Roderick was in Flamingo Kid, The (1984) with Marisa Tomei
Marisa Tomei was in Loverboy (2005) with Kevin Bacon"


I think that gives me a Bacon Number of 3.
