William Gray

Landry was like a brother to me during my years at ECU, we worked out, and study Karate together.

There is no doubt Landry was in the right profession he had a passion for people, and the ability to show a person the good in themselves he will truly be missed!

My prayers and thoughts are with the family!

I was a coworker of Landry's at SWE. Whenever you asked him how he was he always replied, "No worries." Well, now everywhere I look I see the phrase "No worries!" I feel like Landry is giving me a sign!

I will always remember Mr Gray as a wonderful teacher who always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. If I was having a rough day he would come and find me, and make things better. If trouble was brewing he would find it and make things better. I remember walking out into one of North Carolina's many snow storms with him, and noting that he never wore shoes... even in the snow. He will be remembered as one of the greatest teachers I ever knew and one of the best martial artists...

Dear Wendy and family,

It has been a long time since I spoke to you, Wendy. My family in Jacksonville told me about your loss. I pray for you and your sons. And I am sorry that you have to experience this sad time. But William must have been an amazing fun and special person because he chose you to be his wife. My daughters are 14 months old and 5 and a half they would miss their daddy if he passed away. So I can not begin to know how you may be feeling, but I wish you hapiness...

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. We were saddened to hear of your lose.

My thoughts and prayers are definitely with the family, friends, and all those students past and present. I really enjoyed working with Landry at SWE. All the comments about the twinkle in the eye, the bare feet, the funny stories, surfing and karate, he was all that and more. May God hold you all in His hand in this time of grief.

I wanted to express my deepest sympathies to you, in your time of need. I lost my sister four years ago in death and what helped me to ease the pain is the hope that the Bible holds out for our loved ones. In fact, Jesus, at John 5:28-29 spoke of a resurrection of our loved ones. What a wonderful time that will be to see our loved ones happy and healthy once more. I hope this scripture will be able to comfort you as it has me.

Landry called me the little girl that he never had. So, it was even worse when he left this world. He was there with me during karate, and no doubt he will be there with me in the future. On a Sunday night, I went to his house and he opened his eyes and said, "There is my little girl. Come and give me a hug." Then, i went and saw him that Wednesday, and he opened his eyes for me. And that Friday, he opened his eyes and held his arms up like he wanted me to hug him. So, of course, I hugged...

I knew Mr. Gray from SWE. He was a kind, caring and compassionate man. Although I was not in his class, I knew him well because he was such an inspiration to my brother. My brother was a child that needed a little extra help, and when no one else would, Mr. Gray helped him. We think and talk about him often. I had no idea that he was sick, but I wish that I had. I would have let him know what he meant to my brother and my family. His wife, children and the rest of his family are all in my...
