Thomas was born August 13, 1922 in Young County, Graham, Texas to William Bert and Estel (Byrd) Bray and died November 18, 2001. The family moved to Carnegie when he was a small child and after his father passed away in 1932, the family moved to Cashion. Thomas graduated from the 8th grad in Cashion. Shortly after graduation in 1938, the family moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he graduated high school in 1940. On January 11, 1942, Thomas enlisted in the U.S. Navy and his career was spent at a desk. On October 6, 1945, he was hard at work in the personnel office at pearl Harbor, after three long years in the war and not seeing one another, his older brother, Bert I. Bray walked in. They were both in the Navy and had no idea where the other one was at the time. They said there was a lot of "Braying" going on around the personnel office for awhile. After his discharge in January 1946, he went to Arizona State University and graduated in 1951. He reenlisted in the Navy in 1952 for another four years. In 1956 after his second hitch in the Navy, he moved to San Francisco, California where he worked for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad until he retired in 1988. He then moved to Sacramento, California in 1997 to be close to his sister, Eula Cran and niece, Joyce Cran. Thomas is truly missed by numerous nieces and nephews. Services were under the direction of the Pitcher-Hackney Funeral Home in Carnegie. Thomas Truitt Bray August 19, 1922 ~ November 18, 2001 |
