Bobby was born in Albany, Georgia on February 20, 1950 to the late George Thomas Gray, Sr.; and Selma Forshee Gray. On October 27, 1979 he married Glennie Cox Gray at Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Bainbridge, Georgia.  Survivors include: his wife, Glennie C. Gray of Thomasville, GA; daughter, Carrie Elizabeth Hayes (Bryan) of Tallahassee, FL, step-grandson, Logan Hayes of Tallahassee, FL; brother, Lynn Allen Gray (Kathy) of Bluffton, GA; sister-in-law, Inez Gray of Edison, GA, and several nieces and a nephew. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, George T. Gray, Jr., and nephew, Alex Gray.
His greatest joy was his daughter, Carrie, and his Gatlin Creek Church family.   He never met a stranger and if you were a stranger when he first met you, you were not when you left.  He loved people; he loved his family and he loved his Lord and Savior.  He took all that life threw at him with a "I just take one day at the time" attitude.  If you asked him if he was okay, he would always respond, "I'm fine" – now, he is more than fine – he is whole!
