Condolences to the Gray's Family for the passing of such a wonderful person. He was one of thoughs people you meet in life that always put a smile on your face when you see, talk or hear about him.
I guess it's true what they say that our life in this world is short, and we eventually will be remembered for our legacy and memories we bring to others. It will last forever. Though I was sad to hear about his passing, I am grateful to have known such a great person.

Condolences to Gray's family. Gray worked at the Post Office with my mother, Dodie, until she retired in February 1980. For many years our mother frequently told us what a special person Gray was, and she was fortunate to have had the pleasure of working with him. Gray Leslie was a name that was commonly heard in our home, as he brought much joy to those he worked with.
