To all the Gray family, I send my condolences. Your parents were such a big part of my childhood, and there are too many memories to share. As a young child, I didn't know much about his career and accomplishments, though I was aware of how he was respected by many in the community. Learning about his experiences as an adult, I was in awe of his courage, strength and leadership. Growing up, he was kind and encouraging to me. It seemed he was often working on the boat, or some project. But most evenings, he and Mrs Gray would sit on the swing, listening to classical music and look at the creek. I am not sure we kids were the best company, but often we would join them, to sit and talk, and I appreciate how welcome we were made to feel. Peace to Col Gray, and all who loved him.
