RIP Herb Gray

"Herb Gray, a former deputy prime minister and Canada's first Jewish federal cabinet minister, has died at the age of 82, the federal Liberal Party announced late Monday night.



Gray was elected to Parliament for the first time in 1962. He served the district of Windsor West for almost four decades, making him one of the longest-serving MPs in Canadian history."

I met him once in early 1980 when he was here campaigning for Pierre Trudeau. I liked his down to earth style, much like how I admired Joe Clark's style when I met him in Calgary.
