GRAY, FRED
With heavy hearts, the family of Fred Gray announce his passing on June 8, 2015 at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Born in 1933 in Saint John to the late Currie Richard and Cleo Mae Gray, he was the loving husband to his wife Lorraine (Beckwith) Gray.
Fred spent his working career as an auditor for Texaco Canada before retiring in 1990. After his retirement Fred settled down and really enjoyed keeping active by walking and going to the gym, BBQ’s with his family and camping at Hardings Point.
Before moving back to Saint John, Fred was a member of the Newcastle Lions Club and enjoyed curling with his friends. Fred was a serious man, but he had a heart of gold and will be dearly missed.
Along with his wife, Fred is survived by his two daughters; Cathy (George) Floyd of Quispamsis, and Wendy Gray of Halifax, N.S. He will also be sadly missed by his grandchildren Devon, Justin and Blair. Fred was predeceased by his brother Currie Roger Gray and his sister Jean Francis (Gray) Gould.
Arrangements are under the professional care and direction of Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland Rd., Saint John, NB (646-2424). In keeping with Fred’s wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral service held. Interment will take place at a later date.
Donations in memory of Fred placed to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada would be greatly appreciated by the family.
The family would like to express heartfelt thanks to the CAM Unit at St. Joseph’s Hospital for the kindness and compassionate care they provided to Freddie during his time there.
