The passing of Joseph Bray Made the second of June a shiny day. Into unhindered fellowship with God,Joining the company of saints, he sailed Where on joy there are no restraints.

Back in Paterson long ago Was born a Bray named Joe. Went to Annapolis in ’47; Developed a taste for heaven. Graduated in fifty-one Part of the class, “second to none.” Met a stewardess on a plane; Beverly Holmstrom changed her name. Gave birth right a way to five little Brays; Mike came out in […]
