Rev. Dr. William M. Gray Sr.

Billy was my swimming instructor, my mentor/big brother and friend. May The Most High CREATOR be pleased with the life of this "Big Little Giant of a Man".

To the family of Rev Gray, I am so sorry for your loss. Rev. Gray was an awesome man. I was a part of the SAT program he had up on 6th Street in the 80's. I learned a lot from him and his family. He will be missed. May God Bless the Gray family. The Stinson Family

To the Gray Family, With sympathy you have my condolences.
I would be remiss if I did not respond to your fathers home going. Rev. Gray was instrumental in the desegregation of Hershey Park. I was a part of a desegregation program he founded back in 1977. He would faithfully transport us to and from Hershey park in his van. Mentor and educate us with his words of wisdom, as we took that journey.
Rev. Gray was a true pioneer and civil rights activist!
I owe much of my cultural consciousness to Rev. Gray...
Family, I thank you for sharing this saint with us!!! He and God are now face to face reflecting on his Golden Glove stories. God will never leave you or forsake you.

Rev. Gray will be missed, not only by family, but also his many friends. RIP.

To the family of Rev. Dr. William M. (Billy)Gray Sr. I have fond memories of Rev. Gray from my attendance at Second Baptist.

To the family, May God bless and keep you in His care, and give you peace. Deacon G.G. Washington

To the family of the Rev. Dr. William M. Gray, Sr....I extend my deepest sympathy to you at this time of bereavement. I remember Dr. Gray from the Foster St. YMCA.

Rev. Gray was a true vessel of God who brought glory and honour to his heavenly Father. He never ceased to enlighten, encourage, and/or enhance the lives of the young people in Harrisburg. Rev. Gray was committed to Christ long before he was called into the gospel ministry. He loved the Harrisburg community and that was quite evident in his labour of love for the community. Bettering the lives of others was his passion and I, for one, am grateful for his ministry. I pray that the Lord will forever bless you, comfort you, and grant you his precious peace.

To the family.......may your days be filled with good memories and let your days continue to bring sunshine.

Love you "V"

I would like to extend my sympathy to the Family and Friends of Rev Dr Gray. He was a great friend to my husband, the late Louis M. Werdebach of Carlisle, Pa.. It was through my husband that I met Dr Gray. When I was called into the Ministry, Dr Gray also became one of my closest mentor friends in the Ministry. I always looked forward to His preaching when he visited our Church in Carlisle, Shiloh Baptist. and the talks afterward. Though I had not spoken to him lately, I never forgot him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends

To the family,
My condolences on the loss of Mr. Gray. Mr. Gray was our neighbor for over forty years. We will truly miss a wonderful awesome man.

The Branch family

We, the members of the United Missionary Baptist Church, offer heartfelt condolences to the Gray family, in the loss of our brother, colleague and friend. We will miss his community presence; but rejoice in his life. To God be the Glory; Well Done! - Reverend Alvin Q. Taylor

I would like to extend my sympathy to the family of Billy Gray. I had an opportunity to work with him as a Youth Advocate for youth discharged from juvenile correctional facilities in the mid-1970's. He was a great role model and counselor who was well connected to all of the Harrisburg youth serving agencies in Harrisburg. He provided countless hours of service, largely unpaid, to troubled youth and his combination of athletic skills and divinity proved an effective model of outreach and rehabilitation. He was a positive mentor for hundreds of Harrisburg youth and leaves a rich legacy of service, caring, and compassion. His impact on the community is immeasurable and it was an honor to get to know him. May he rest in peace.

Please accept my deepest sympathy.

We the members of the ShIloh Missionary Baptist Church of Carlisle, Pa. do send our deepest sympathy to Rev. Dr. William M. Gray Sr. Family. He was a great friend of our Church and our Late Pastor's Rev. Dr. William E. Jones and Rev. Delores Acy Jones. His visits to our Church Family will never be forgotten. We will keep his family in Prayer.

In the Love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
Deaconess Mary Lee Scott, Church Secretary
Rev. Daniel B. Keys, Pastor

Rev. Gray touched so many lives. It is an honor and a blessing to have stood under this pillar in our community. May he rest in peace.

Rev. Gray was a great man. He was a mentor and outstanding example of what a role model should. I will cherish the college tour that he took us on in the seventies. He will be truly missed.

Friends are a gift from God. They bring us joy and happiness. And help us in times of need. That's why we can say, we were truly blessed to be able to call him friend.

Our faith is certainly tested at times like this. We know it is difficult to understand a loss like this, but we need to be mindful of the true blessing that he was to us. That should give us the strength to continue on in faith knowing that he would want us to honor his memory in this way.

We pray that God's choicest blessings will be bestowed on his family.

Gray Family may God bless and keep you during your grief. Bill was my Scoutmaster, teacher, role model, amd inspiration in my life. He will be missed but not forgotten.
