Members of the Class of 1954 are saddened at the loss of our classmate Tom Grey. He will be remembered with affection.
Who would have thought that when I saw you in August that would be the last time I got a hug and kiss. When I was driving by on Yankee Bush and you were out getting the paper I think I startled you a little but I knew I couldn’t go by without stopping. So sorry I never stopped in for that drink you promised me. I was so happy when you and Aunt Linda came down to my get together on our land. Tab said he had the best day just sitting and talking about old times when he was home for hunting. I am so blessed to have known you for 40 years and be welcomed into the Gray family. You are the best and will be missed by all that had the honor of knowing YOU!!!! I love you Uncle Tommy. Tell Den and all the brothers I love them and they will always be in my heart. Wrap your arms around Casey and hold him close.
Gear Heidi and family, so sorry to learn this news. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this terrible ordeal. May God bless you and the fily and give you the strength need during these sad days. With God’s Blessings and Our Love, Tom and Marj Wright
