On September 29, 2002, a peaceful Sunday morning, our dear friend and colleague

Steven Gray passed away. He had fought a long battle with Wegener’s

granulomatosis, with later complications resulting in bladder cancer and finally,

pneumonia. His incredible courage and cheerfulness have made this man a hero for

many of us.

     I would like to paint five portraits of Steven Grey. These are portraits that are well

imprinted in the minds of hundreds of physicians and researchers around the world:

Steve Gray, the pioneer and explorer; the master, mentor and teacher; the critic; the

storyteller, and finally, the peacemaker.
