He was a member of St. Paul United Methodist Church. He graduated from duPont Manual High School and obtained his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Louisville.
Lou loved being outdoors. He loved fishing, hiking, exploring state and national parks, bicycling, and his vacations with Carol in the mountains. He was a true artist, not only as a career, but as a hobby. He enjoyed jazz music and loved to spend hours reading about history. His quick witted, never tell a tale, far-fetched sense of humor will be lovingly remembered. He will be greatly missed.
His survivors include his wife of 61 years, Carol Schoedinger Gray; nephews, Russell (Cindy) and Kevin (Jennifer); nieces, Robin (Kevin) and Liane (Jeff); and his loyal companion, Lucy the Cat.
Preceding him in passing were his brother, Robert Gray Jr. and sister, Doris Lowen.
