Gray further added, "We all thought the dream of building a great law firm that will survive our own practices of law could be completed before the mantle was fully passed to the next generation of lawyers. That was not to be … we wish Don the very best in whatever is next for him."
Gray had joined the firm three years after it was founded and is now a member of the Baylor University's Board of Regents.
