I´ll never forget the day I turned in my application for employment at Stanislaus Implement with Brenda the office manager, and she told me I would be talking with the owner Roger Gray for an on the spot interview! I looked at him through the glass windows at his big desk, he was in the phone having a spirited conversation but at the same time loud laughs could be heard through the office. I was so nervous watching from outside. He was a huge man and I was so intimidated at 19 years old. When I walked into his office Brenda introduced me and his big warm smile and welcoming way sent all my fears out the door. I sat down and had a conversation with him and before I knew it, I was working at Stanislaus Implement! I spent 12 years at Stanislaus Implement and loved working there. Roger gave me so much confidence in myself over the years, he had a lot of faith in my abilities and entrusted me with so many responsibilities in the front and back office. My knowledge and drive grew under his belief in my work ethic and it shaped me into who I am today. I am grateful for his courage to trust in me. When my daughter was a toddler she loved to go see Roger in the office because he always had candy in his drawer for her! When she was older he offered her a summer job and was always encouraging young people to earn their way. I will always remember his big warm hugs and his infectious laughter echoing in the office. He was a kind man and he had a huge impact on many lives over the years. He will be missed. Rest in Heavenly Peace Roger.

Dear Janice
Having had the privilege of being one of your pastors over the years I have fond memories of talking and praying with the two of you on more than one occasion. You both have been supportive of me in the pastoral role and for that I´m eternally grateful. I enjoyed discussing the Lord with Roger and our theological discussions were always stimulating. Enjoy your new heavenly home, Roger. You´ve been anticipating that for a long time and now you´ve arrived.
God bless you
Pastor Les Malakian

I express my sympathies to the family. I am Miriam Cover Notehelfer and I am a daughter of Jesse Cover who was his grandmother´s brother. I knew Roger´s mom and dad and brother Ed. It´s a wonderful obituary sent to me by my sister Carmen Ernst. God bless you all.

I worked for and with Roger for 31 years . Roger WAS Stanislaus Implement & Hardware ! He loved everything about running his company especially talking to his customers . Roger was a people person always welcoming anyone who wanted to come in and sit and talk to him. He remembered so many customers phone numbers and the piece of equipment they had purchased and when they had purchased it ! He greeted me everyday with one of his "Roger Gray hugs". I enjoyed working with Roger all 31 years we worked well together. We had a mutual respect for one another and a common goal to provide good honest customer service to all of our customers . We were a Stanislaus Implement &Hardware family most of us have stayed in touch with each other and with Roger, that says a lot about this man . He will be missed and definitely remembered . The loss of Roger and Stanislaus Implement is the end of an era . There isn´t another Stanislaus Implement or Roger Gray . The Gray family has been a huge part of my life we have a lot of history, I love all of you . My thoughts and prayers go out to each and everyone of you Brenda

Roger was a friend for more years than I can count
A man of faith
An honest and successful businessman
And an all around good guy
Janice, we share your loss, but Heaven welcomes home a new and active member

One of the many things I will miss most are the bear hugs I received from my Uncle Roger. You knew you had been hugged. He was such a warm, loving man with a wonderful sense of humor. We also shared a love for Jesus. See you on the other side, dear Roger.
