Fred Gray

Fred F. Gray, 77, of Hanover Township, passed away March 13, 2026, at Hampton House, following a battle with Alzheimer's Disease.

Born March 2, 1949, he was a son of the late Fred L. and Betty Gray. Fred was a 1967 graduate of GAR High School and a graduate of Penn State University, with a degree in electrical engineering.

Fred was loved by so many. He was an amazing cook, and his homemade pizza was famous. It was the centerpiece of many a party. People would always ask him when the next pizza party was! He was known for his unending list of jokes and could be found at the center of any group, making people laugh. He could fix just about anything, sometimes in the most "interesting" ways.

He was a devoted father, grandfather, partner, uncle, and friend.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years, Charlotte Gray, and his brother, Rick Gray.

He is survived by his daughters, Jennifer Keller and her husband, Bill; and Kelly Kablick and her husband, John; son, Jeff; grandchildren, Mason Gray, Sydney and Tyler Keller, and Cole and Camden Kablick; his loving and devoted partner, Peggy Futch; sister-in-law, Carol Gray; goddaughter, Alison Gray; nephews, Rich Gray and Chris Gray; and great-nephew, Noah Gray.

The family would like to thank the staff at Hampton House for their loving care and support. They took amazing care of our dad and treated him with love and respect. He made an impression on staff and residents alike. We would also like to thank Compassionate Care Hospice team, especially Becky Peters, Dennis, and Cathy. Their support was a great comfort.

A celebration of Fred's life will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday at Nat Gawlas Jordan Funeral Home, 89 Park Ave., Wilkes-Barre.
