It is with sadness that we recognize the passing of Dr. Jerry Gray, a director of the Manitoba Medical Service Foundation (MMSF) board from 2012 to 2022.

“Dr. Gray was a welcome and valued presence on the MMSF Board and we will truly miss him,” said Dr. Greg Hammond, Executive Director of the MMSF. “From his work on the Board, to his extensive academic accomplishments and community service for Manitobans, he played a tremendous role in so many lives.”

In 1974, Dr. Gray became the head of the Department of Business Administration at the University of Manitoba. He became associate dean in 1982 and dean in 1996. He retired from full-time teaching in 2005.

“Dr. Gray offered sage counsel to all,” said Dr. Peter Cattini, chair of the MMSF board. “From all of us at the MMSF, we wish his loved ones all the best in this difficult time.”
