Jim Gray, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, friend, passed away peacefully on August 18th at the age of 95. Jim born in Fargo, ND., moved to Tucson, AZ, where he was known for his compassionate nature and giving spirit. As a gifted man of many talents, Jim was a skilled plumber and contractor for over 70 years, owning his own pipeline business and having 8 patents for tools with the patent office of the United States.
Jim was survived by his son, Wayne, Daughter-in-law, Theresa, Brother-in-law, David, Sister-in-law, Donna, 8 Grandchildren/Great Grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and an abundance of great friends, whose lives have been enriched by his unwavering love and support.
Jim's infectious smile, loving personality and majestic spirit was inspiring to all who knew him. His legacy is one of honesty, integrity, and resilience and his memory will forever live in our hearts.
Though he has passed on, his love and spirit will remain with us always. We can find comfort knowing that he is now smiling down upon us, reunited with the love of his life, his wife, Judy Gary, who passed away just a short time ago. May they both rest peacefully together, forever in our hearts.
