May 31, 1940 - February 6, 2018

GRAY, Clifford “Cliff” – 77, of Villas and formerly of the Kensington Section of Philadelphia, on February 6, 2018, died peacefully in his home while surrounded and comforted by his loving family. Cliff passed on his Mother’s, Florence Dougherty, birthday. During his 77 years, Cliff “wore many hats.” While a resident in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Cliff owned and operated Gray’s Auto Body and Beverage Company which was founded in 1938 by his father, Clifford Gray, Sr. Cliff served in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives as a State Legislator from 1976 until 1982. Cliff Gray Appraisal Service was established in 1985. His sons Bill and Randy, and his wife, Mary Ellen Gray, later joined him in the family business. Cliff was known for his sense of humor, and his love of being Irish. He loved the game of golf and was a member of the Wildwood Country Club for many years. The “Marcy G” was his fishing boat where he and the family enjoyed many outings. His love of fishing began with his Grandfather in Fortescue when he was a young boy. It became his most loved sport. Cliff, in his final moments, did get to enjoy and witness the Eagles win the Super Bowl before he passed away. “Ain’t We Grand!” Cliff is dearly missed by his loving family which includes his wife of 47 years, Mary Ellen “Marcy” and their children, Kimberly Spicer, Cliff III, Bill (Michele), Anthony (Helen), Randy (Christine), Coleen (Ryan) Morey and Shannon (Paul) Bucko along with 13 grandchildren. Services will be provided at a later date, to be determined by family. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are suggested to: Shriner’s Hospital for Children, 3551 N. Broad St., Phila., PA, 19140. (Spilker Funeral Home, Cape May) info and condolences: spilkerfuneralhome.com
