We will always be thankful for Joe Gray's impact on our lives. His passion for evangelism and missions impacted us greatly. His work with Project Good News was a positive influence on us and many others. We remember being in his packed Wednesday night college class at church on occasion. We praise God for His promises and pray for Harriette and each member of this special family. Our love to you all.

Dear Sweet Harriet; Linda, Joseph and Scott.I just learnt this week that our dear special friend and loved one had past away December. Please accept my belated and deepest heartfelt condolences. Dear Joe, my 'Father of the Gospel' was such a wonderful influence in my life and through him I believe my spot in Heaven is secure. To me Joe emulated Jesus Christ and I found it hard in the early days to separate the two of them; Joe embodied all the many characteristics and traits of our Lord and the two of them have sustained me even during the years 'in the wildeness'. My love to you all and my love for Joe will remain a constant reminder our souls will one day again rejoice together in Eternity through our faith in Christ.

I was a young child, perhaps about five or six years old (in the early 1950's) when Bro. Gray was the minister for the Bybee Branch congregation in McMinnville TN. I attended services at Bybee Branch with my Aunt Velma (Moffitt) Hutchings (who passed away this Dec 26th). Bro. Gray made such an impression on me that I have never forgoten him. I am grateful for Bro. Gray's work for our Lord here on Earth, and believe he awaits his reward in Heaven. May the Holy Scriptures and memories of Bro. Gray's life comfort his family.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says: "There, he is gone!" There are other eyes watching him coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: "Here he comes!

Dearest Harriette, Linda , Joseph and Scott. My heart goes out to you all at this extremely sad time in your lives. I so often think about you all and wonder where you all are living and how to make contact again with you. I so enjoyed the time you spent here in New Zealand they were fun years. Every time I drive past your holiday home in Lawerence on the Main Street I think of all the fun things we used to do there. Joe was an amazing man and a great influence on so many of us young teenagers here. I still remember you driving that big car Harriette and blowing the horn as you approached every corner going up and down Cosy Dell.❤️❤️❤️❤️ To you all Madelon and Olga Janssen
