During May 2015, NOAA’s Chris Landsea posted this photo of himself with Dr. Bill Gray.
Bill was not only the best tropical meteorologist, he was also the top climate realist and a man of unmatched integrity.
Bill grew up in Washington DC with Warren Buffet and consistently out-earned Buffet as the Washington Post’s top paper deliverer.
His dream was to play baseball for the Washington Senators, but a knee injury forced him into meteorology. I had lunch with Bill a few weeks before he passed away on April 16, 2016.
