Location: Appleton | I took this from another board please keep Gary and family in your prayers
Thanks
"Gary Gray"
Just passing on info for those who have not heard. Prior to blast-off on Sunday at the Merc National, all anglers were asked cut their engines and turn radios to Channel 16. We were told that Gary Gray's health situation was very bleak and a prayer was said for Gary over the radio. I am sure Gary would have given anything to have been sitting in a walleye boat getting ready to compete on Sunday like we were. In addition to thinking of Gary, it made a lot of us pause to give thanks for the priviledge of being on the water because there will come a day when all of us will have fished our last tournament (on this earth anyway!).

Location: Berlin | I have not heard any updates on Gary. I got to know Gary while fishing the last two PWT events on Bago. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and it was awesome to have him on our side. Get better bud, my families prayers are with you. |

| It was a real honor to meet Gary Gray as we all know there is no slot size where he is now. Our prayers are with the family of Gary as we all should make the best of each day and be thankful that we blessed to have met such a great guy.
