What terrible news! I never saw Mike that he wasn't smiling. A loss not only to his faimly but to all his friends and the club!

Kathy Gray asked me to let everyone know that Mike Gray passed away yesterday in Auburn, Calif. Evidently Mike had a heart attack and was gone before the Fire Dept. could help. Kathy and Mike stopped to visit her Mother on the way home from having their booth at the National.......so Kathy is with her mother, and their kids and family members have come to be with her. Those who know both Mike and Kathy know that we have lost a true Gentleman. Mike was a very dear and kind and gentle soul who was devoted to his Kathy and his family. Mike cared about people, he loved the Breed and only offered encouragement and help and kindness to everyone....a rare find among us at times. We have lost a truly good guy. He was a dear friend and we loved him and we will sorely miss him. This has been a year of real sorrow for some of us. My heart goes out to Kathy and their family.
