Supporting the family of Richard Gray

It’s with a heavy heart that I say my good friend and shipmate Richard Gray passed away yesterday on the McCarthy following a tragic accident. Our Great Lakes community is a small one and he was well known and liked by many and involved in almost every organization imaginable. He has been my friend since we were cadets and we’ve worked together for several years now as well. He was a fantastic man who would do anything for a friend without hesitation and had done so for me on many occasions. He was a loving father of three beautiful children and a devoted husband. I will miss him and his humor greatly but I know it’s nothing compared to the loss his family will feel. Fair winds my friend. 

I’m starting this fundraiser to help lend some support to his wife and children. While there will be support from the company to help there are often more immediate needs. 

Thank you So much in advance for your support of this wonderful man, friend, dad and husband.
