Ann and the rest of the Gray Family,
I was extremely sad to hear the news yesterday of Buddy's passing. He was a special gentleman that touched everyone that he came in contact with in a very special way. He was loved and respected by the Yazaki North America and IMS/Autrans Teams. Without his help those organizations would not be as successful as they are today.
To me personally he was a trusted advisor and friend. He taught me so much about how to be a good Manager as well as a good Man. I could never repay him for the guidance, patience, and general wisdom that he so generously shared with me during the time the we worked together and even after I left for other opportunities. I will miss him greatly. I know that he is walking with Jesus now and I can take comfort in the fact that I have a friend in Heaven looking out for me.
I wish you all God's Blessings during your time of grief.

To all of Buddy's family... I am so sorry about losing Buddy this week. I consider myself fortunate to have been with him at work for the last 5 years, as he is one of the hardest working and considerate men I've ever met. And there are few others I've had equal respect for. He will be dearly missed by myself and many others.

Your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers. The world has lost a magnificent man; considerate, caring, and a pleasure to work with. He was always proud to share his family photos with me and treated me with the respect he would give a family member. I will miss him, too! A friend from Tennessee...
