BIRTH
OBITUARIES
GRAY—Richard Gray, 89,
passed away peacefully Nov. 2,
2015, surrounded by his fami-
ly.
Dick was born March 12,
1926, in Oretown, Ore., to
Floyd and Gladys Gray. The
family moved around a lot, so
Dick attended many schools
including Mapleton, Siuslaw
and Minerva, up the North
Fork. He joined the Navy at the
age of 17, attending Radio
School at Texas A&M.
Dick won the heart of
Evelyn Etzel, who “didn’t like
that boy very much” growing
up, and they married Nov. 9,
1946. Together they raised
seven children and one grand-
child. They moved to Florence
in 1952, when Dick worked at
various sawmills around the
area. He was a supervisor at
Davidson’s when he retired in
1988. His children remember
him as the tallest and strongest
man in the world, the protector
of the family.
His sons will enjoy many
great memories of going hunt-
ing and fishing with Dad.
In his retirement, Dick
enjoyed golfing with his broth-
ers and mushroom hunting. In
his later years, the joy of his
life was his children, his grand-
children and his weekly poker
games at the Elks, where he
was a life member.
Dick was known for his
great smile, belly laugh and his
willingness to help his family
when they needed him. He was
the quintessential storyteller,
but not a slave to the facts.
He was preceded in death by
his parents; his sister, Betty
Lou Seifken; his brother,
Harley Gray; and his daughter
Cynthia.
He is survived by his wife,
Evelyn; his daughters: Debbie
Peterson and Teresa Bartlett;
sons: Jim, Matt, Dan, Tom and
grandson, Jeff; 19 other grand-
children and 21 great-grand-
children.
A private celebration of life
is planned for the summer.
