We as a family are very sorry to read of the passing of Murray Gray. I think I only meet Murray once at a family reunion many years ago and also remember having a telephone conversation with him possibly 5 - 10 years ago about a family photo. I will always be extremely grateful to him for his writing and publication of the book of Reflections, Thoughts and Daydreams of Wm Gray, my Great Grandfather. I often refer to this book/diary in my family history research. Rest in Peace Murray Christine Crosbie. 027 279 9288
