Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

My sincere condolences to the family of Booker T. Gray. Booker T. and I grew up in Forest Park as youngsters. We also graduated together. I was so happy to see and talk to him during our 50th high school class reunion in 2012. I remember Booker T. as very smart as a student, and he was either the valedictorian or salutatorian of our graduating class. It did not surprise me that he would go on to college and have a prestigious career in dentistry. I shall never forget his laid back demeanor and personality. Rest In Peace, power and love, Booker T. Your classmate, Ruthie Williams Mitchell.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
