Yaarab Shrine has lost one of the hardest workers it has ever had. You will truly be missed Jim by all.
When I first met Jim Bray, 15 years ago, I was a new member of Tucker Shrine Club. He was one of the first people to welcome me and started the introductions to other members. He was always quick with a laugh and a pleasureable man to visit with.
Working with Jim at the many Circus’ proved to be as much fun as it was rewarding. He was a true Mason in every sense of the name. He was a great Shirner and I am pround top have known him. I know that God has a special place for Jim to reside in now.
May God Bless his family and help them through this troubled time in their lives.
Carol, So sorry for your loss, Jim’s death will leave a large gap in our Shrine leadership.
With sympathy, Barbara Messer

Mrs. Bray,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know your pain. I lost David on May 28, 2010. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I recalled the last time that I saw Mr. Bray and you in the library, he asked about David and told me to tell him “hi.” I told David and that meant the world to him. I pray your strength and recovery from your loss.
When one has been a caregiver for a period of time, it is difficult to start anew. Please know that you and your family have my deepest sympathy and I will keep you in my prayers and give your name to the church that I attend to be placed on the prayer list. Remembering you, in your loss.
Mrs. Dwight David Stone Deborah
