Benny was my Dad,Joe Harmon Gray´s first cousin. He was someone I am thankful to be related to and got to know in times we would visit family in Trenton. Benny and my dad grew up together,as close as brothers I´ve been told. My Dad passed away in 1969,and Benny,Francis,Mike and Nathan invited me to stay with them for two weeks there in Trenton. I am forever thankful for that time and every time I was able to be around them,as they were a very loving Christian family. My name is Joseph Kevin Gray.
