*Obituary (Joe)
Joe T. Gray, 96, of Greers Ferry was born in Shiloh, Arkansas, on January 7, 1912. The day came when our Lord and Savior looked down upon Southridge Nursing Home and took my father by the hand to join my mother on September 17, 2008. He had called upon her so many times in the past few weeks that it came time for him to join her.
He was the son of Joe and Pearl (Brady) Gray. He professed his faith at an early age at the Shiloh Baptist Church.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 72 years, Ivory Ann (Dillon) Gray; one son, Floyd J. Gray; and one daughter, Maxine Gray.
Mr. Gray retired from Olivette Supply Company in Greers Ferry, Arkansas.
