I met Charles when I was 14 years old, 51 years ago when he married my cousin, Nancy. I always remember Charles teasing me, but always greeting me with kind words during my teenage year. As I became a young adult, he encouraged me in all my endeavors. He was a great listener and always asked me about my academics and my career as a National Park Ranger. When my mother died in 1976, Charles comforted me and often told me how much he loved Nancy’s family. My heart goes out to Nancy, Kelly, Kendall and Jacob. I feel that I was very fortunate to have Charles in my life and as part of my family. Love, Sheila

Charles Gray was a minister at Prescott Baptist Church when I was a child. He was always more a teacher than a preacher to me. No one I have ever known showed the love of Christ through his life than Charles. Although if you told him anything like that he would always brush it off and say that many others were better Christians than he. It was not true. He worked tirelessly in the Juvenile Court system and although I know he was often overwhelmed with the problems of his clients, he just kept on doing the best he could, never losing hope or giving up. He was an extraordinary human being. I will miss him but I know he is at peace in the light of Christ. My condolences and love to his kind and stalwart wife, Nancy. I hope the words in this journal will comfort her at a difficult time. God Bless you Nancy and your whole family. Randy and Michelle Means

If ever it were appropriate to celebrate a life, Charles’ is such a life. My late wife Jean and I were greatly honored to be longtime friends and fellow church members with Charles and Nancy and their wonderful daughters. In his quiet and unassuming way, no one in our acquaintance more consistently followed The Way of Christ than Charles. He brought dignity and grace into our lives, he showed us the meaning of courage, and he leaves a lasting legacy of love in the hearts of all who knew him.I pray that the embrace of God’s holy spirit, aided by sweet memories of this extraordinary man, will comfort Nancy and the whole family during this difficult time.Tom Walsh
