I feel so sad about the passing of Uncle Grey. To me it's like the end of an era. There are so many memories I have of Uncle Grey - the many time we were together on the lake, the fun weeks we spent in the winter at the Kon Tiki and of course, having him as a "boss" when I waitressed at Brae Loch. One thing that stands out in my mind is seeing Uncle Grey and Uncle Pete at the funeral home and church when my father died. He was always there for the family. He was such a handsome, friendly, loving man who was talented beyond belief - hosting Robert Burns nights at Brae Loch dressed in his kilts (so handsome), listening to the stories of how he and Uncle Pete dug out the basement of Brae Loch shovel by shovel full to create the downstairs bar and casual dining room. It was like he could do anything with tools for construction and had amazing taste as well. He will be missed by many. Sending love and condolences to all of you as you struggle with your loss. I pray you will rejoice in the fact that he is now dancing a jig in heaven with Grandma Brown, Scotty, Edith and Jim and Aunt Betty and Uncle Pete and the many other Barr's who have left us. May peace be with all of you.
