Judy and Tom,
I have so many fond memories of your Dad, and I know my Dad thought the world of him too. Maybe they’re catching up on “the old days” right now…. My favorite memory is the time we were practicing softball at the old “dump” field, and he made me carry my bat all the way to first base! It worked! I never got called out again!! I know how much you’re going to miss him. I can’t be at the services, but I’ll be praying for all of you. And let me know if there is any way I can help.
Many, many years ago I remember Coach Grey coaching us in little league. Thanks for the memories.
You will be missed!
May the love of God surround you and your family during this difficult time
May you come to know that the love of God is with you always,
May your memories of Leo T. Gray, give you peace, comfort and strength…
Rest now in the arms of our Lord your work on earth is complete. I thank you for your service and my Freedom. You will not be forgotten.
US Army Veteran Leo T. Gray, is “A True American Hero” God Bless†
