Following ordination, he served parishes in Indiana, Michigan, and for 26 years, St. Thomas Church in McLean. Peter also served as the assistant director of the McLean Community Center; founded residential and educational centers for homeless children in Michigan; and served as a leader of ACTS and as Fairfax County's Emergency Housing Administrator. Beloved husband of Rick MIchaelson; loving brother of Nancy Siebert and Bob Gray(dec) and uncle to Wendy, Kelsey and Caitlin Alexander. A memorial service is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. July 23 at St. Thomas Church McLean. In lieu of flowers, a donation to St. Thomas would be appreciated. Rest In Peace, Pete - we love you.

Thanks to the internet, I just today learned of where Peter Gray was. I was a house other at a halfway house for boys in Kalamazoo, MI. It was called " AutosHouse" and was sponsored by the Episcopal church in Kalamazoo.
Father Grey was the director. He came 5 days a week for a big sit down dinner with the teen age boys. This was 1970.1971.
I have fond memories of him. There was a lot of social situations to deal with at the House. He did a very good job in his position.
Sending condolences to his husband , family and friends. Susan ( Mikusko) Hopkins

So sad to learn of his passing. Our friendship dates back to when we were our 20s when we shared many happy times together such as sitting on the top of a refrigerator to paint the wall of a house he and friends were moving into and i joined him often for dinner on the ship when he served as an Ensign on the USS Randolph! So many memories to cherish. Thank you Peter for being a special friend to me !!!
