A Brother
Any family member or friend who knows granddaddy, has to also know his only brother J.W. Gray, affectionately called Uncle Buboo. Two peas in a pod, frick and frack, inseparable, or whatever you want to call them; just know they are the definition of brothers being there for each other.... No matter the struggle, the argument, the assignment, they are there for each other.
A Father
Willie Gray was married to the late Mary Bethena Bowie, who lost her life to violence on _____, __, ____. Every story I've ever heard of her was always about how sweet, beautiful, kind, nurturing, or loving she was. Amidst the heinous things that happen in the world I thank God for ability to remember the good that we shared with loved ones; the mistakes made, the remorse from hurt, the faith to forgive, the strength from persevering, and the maturing beyond life's tribulations, and most of all recognizing the blood of Christ being the glue that holds us all together, individually and collectively.
Together Willie and Mary had 5 children

A few years after the passing of his wife, Mary, Willie married Georgia Mae (Harris) Gray. They had 2 children together
According to Willie, Georgia could not handle the remorse he was living with from the tragic loss of his first wife, Mary, it drove her away, and eventually the marriage eventually dissipated.
