I worked at John Gray & Son Big Star thru high school and then somewhat beyond. I continued to shop there until the store closed.
One of my favorite memories is the day that my Mother and I along with my Daughter and Granddaughter (four generations) were shopping and talking with Mr. Gray, SR, John JR, and Johnnie, III (three generations) – a true Family business.
I also shared the Navy Reserve with him although in different units. I know at least two of us who worked there in our youth retired as Master Chiefs.
Each morning when I am walking for exercise, I talk with God during my walkin’ and talkin’ prayers. I always conclude by thanking Him for my mentors. The Gray Family is certainly one of my mentors.
Please know that you are in my prayers. Rodger Aitken
