Not sure what to say?

He was a good to my father and me. I remember going to Beaufort Muffler and the machine shop in the back when I was young. He was very helpful to us. Currently shop at of all of his stores and will miss him very much.

My heart is broken knowing that the next time I step into Grayco, I won´t see the smiling face and warm welcome that always greeted me at the door. I truly loved seeing him and speaking with him each time I visited. His presence will be deeply missed. May God bless his family during this emotional and difficult time.

Richard was a true inspiration to me! Always with a smile and nice greetings!

I am so saddened to hear of Mr. Gray's passing. I also take comfort that I had the opportunity to meet and have conversations with him. That was a gift. He will be missed.

I saw Mr Gray about a week before his death at his Lady's Island store. He was standing up front to greet customers when I walked in. I told him my name and he told me that recently my fathers name came up in a conversation with some men he was speaking with. We remenised for a few minutes, I shook his hand and said goodbye.

A good, generous family and business gentleman will be sorely missed : Richard brought joy to many and we are ever grateful.

When I was in Fripp Island Sea Rescue, Mr Gray was always there to give us financial help. Always in the hardware store to greet customers and I never failed to say hello to him. He will be sorely missed by both friends, family and fellow workers.

Mr, Gray was one of the first people I met when I moved to Beaufort four years ago. Such an amazing gentleman. Beaufort lost a legend.
