James E. Gray

James, Was a dedicated loving father and husband. He gave 100% to everything he ever did in life. He will be missed by so many.

James arrived in Helsinki when I was the Detachment Commander. He was an outstanding Marine. Sana and I would like to extend our condolences to your family.

He will always be "Cousin Jimmy," and he will be missed.

I served with James in Finland and had way to much fun in Moscow with him. His humor and smile brighten up all of our days. James was an outstanding Marine and it was a honor and privilege to be in his company. Our thoughts and prayers with you all.

I was the Detachment Commander in Helsinki Finland when he arrived. James was a great Marine.. it was an honor to serve with him. The picture is from the 4th of July in Helsinki

I am saddened to learn of James passing. We served together in Finland and lost touch after that. I was contacted by another Marine we served with in Finland today to let me know. I have nothing but good memories of James.

I too would like to give my condolences, and thank you for your service. What an amazing man! Although you left too soon, your son was able to benefit from your example and teaching.

I had the absolute pleasure and honor of hanging around Jimmy during our school days, making adventures with a few others. He was always a kind and generous soul, with such dedication. This obituary shows how he valued the things he cared about! I am so sorry for the loss his wife and son will endure without him. I won´t be able to attend the memorial, but will remember all within my prayers. Stand tall with the angels Jimmy Gray.

Although I did not know James; I respect his dedication to his Country and thank him for his service. Rest in Peace Brave Warrior. Semper Fi. Day is done. Gone the sun. From the lakes From the hills. From the sky. All is well. Safely rest. God is nigh.
