Long time member Gray “Papa” Beckner passed away April 4, 2017.

Gray as a scroller, will be remembered as the club “Fretwork Clock” expert. Gray scrolled the largest and most difficult clocks. Gray along with his son Keith, also a long time member, enjoyed scrolling together in Gray’s shop. Gray participated in numerous club activities as he really enjoyed the fellowship with members and having discussions with visitors at scrolling shows. He really enjoyed the times he spent with the club founding president Alon Utt. It was entertaining to hear them joking with each other.
