I’m saddened to learn of Brother Gray’s passing. I was just thinking of him recently. One of the great influences in my life. He surely will be missed!
David and I served together for 2 years on the ward council and he came happily and faithfully to our early morning meetings which was an incredible example to me of his love for the Gospel. With everything he managed for his family, he was still happy to serve with a smile. I was visiting Jackie a little bit ago and he came over to say hi to her. Jokes and stories were at the ready. He brought sunshine with him. He was young at heart!
Dear Gray Family… I am so sad to hear of David’s passing. He was such a good man, faithful, and so good to know. May the peace of the Spirit rest on your famliy at this time!
To Jo Ann and Family,,, Sorry to hear of David’s passing, he and Jo Ann attended the 1960 Kirksville High School reunions for many years. David always brought his golf clubs and the guys renewed their friendships over the friendly games and visiting. He will be missed by the his classmates at the 65th reunion next October.
So sorry for your families loss. If the measure of a life well lived is the caliber of the children you raised, it puts you at the top.
David was a friend in high school and a teammate on the football team. He never lost his dry sense of humor. We shared a round of golf with Ronnie Mikel and Jerry Gibson at our last class reunion. A really fine guy.
