When getting a haircut he would always say “Wayne, make me look like a general”. It was easy to. What a great kind gentleman.

Just found out today via THE CHARLOTTE LEDGER. Loved Gray and have fond memories. Georganne, my heartfelt sympathies to you and your children.
Tony and Jane Windell says
Gray was a wonderful man. We have not seen Gray and Georganne for a number of years, but we hold both of them in the highest regard. God bless.
Steve Weaver says
Georganne, just saw Gray’s obituary tonight. I have so many fond memories of you, Gray, and my mom working together. She loved you both, and you were very kind to her. This behavior was typical and consistent with all three of you; I see so many people these days who have not had the family model of kindness. Your children and grandchildren will not be in that group! Thank you both for your kindness to our family!- Steve Weaver
