Frank Gray

I worked with Frank at FT newsletters and had many a fine " marketing meeting" at the Maple Leaf pub in Covent Garden . We continued to meet up once I moved to another job because he was such great company and a lovely genuine man . I have many very fond memories of him . In particular, we attended an energy conference in Singapore and had a particularly raucous rickshaw race though the city streets after too many Singapore Slings ( I still have a photo). Once I moved to Shropshire we...

I have been searching for Frank & Carole for years and am so sorry to find out. We worked together in Toronto at James Richardson & Sons and have many funny and memorable times. If you get this Carole I would love to hear from you. [email protected]

I grew up with Frank in the mid 50's in San Mateo,, CA..Although he was 3 or 4 years older we were "best" friends until he went off to Serra Highschool.He loved the Dodgers, I loved the Yankees. We played and talked baseball for hours every day of the week.One memorable story comes to mind...when his mom threw a birthday party for Frank.She baked a 2 layer cake and she put dimes (10cents) around the rim of the first layer then put on the second layer, frosted it and served it.Soon Frank and I...

In the 70s, I was lucky to work for him awhile, in Air Canada P.R. when we were all young! He was smart, thoughtful, logical, generous, open-minded, and a man of great integrity. At times he was the only one with his feet on the ground. Though young and funny, he also had a surprising 'gravitas'. There ought to be more like him in the world.

So happy we visited. Wishing all the peace of having known Frank. His life and his work.

I enjoyed these last two years to share a few glasses of Wine With Frank.He was happy to ask me some news about France and always had an interesting story to tell and a funny comment to add .

I was really pleased to go from Time to Time to" the Boaters " in Kingston With my Wife Frances where Carole and Frank joined us for a live evening jazz . He had always something nice to tell us about a concert Of his best memories .

I keep the image of a kind humour in his eyes...

Frank was the epitome of all of the virtues of the Street - generous to a fault, quick-witted, cheerful and filled with the 'can do' attitude of a good Fleet Street journalist, or as he characterized us all "Fleet Street Hack." he was not hack though, and always willing to look at things with a fresh, tirelessly and with humor.

So here's to you Mr. Gray, wherever you may be, a round from me, my bill.

Dearest uncle, I will always remember you as a wise and sensible man.. You and my mom (your sister) will always be with me. Love X
