Reuben Gonzales. better known by the men of the GRAY as GOlYZO. Gonzo was everybody's friend. Gonzo was always there to put a smile on our face when things were going rough and he was always there to lend a helping hand when a problem arose. Even when youjust needed someone to talk to. he was always ready to lend an ear. We honestly believe that no one on the GRAY can boast that Gonzo was his best friend. because everyone was Gonzo's best friend. We lost Gonzo in a tragic automobile accident: it was a shock to the whole crew. lt seems that Gonzo was so busy helping other people with their problems that he forgot his own: Gonzo put everybody else before himself. We as crewmembers of the GRAY and friends of Gonzo need to follow his example of helping our fellow crewmembers and friends. Gonzo is gone. but the memory of him will never be lost. We the erew. know that we will never be able to repay Gonzo for the many times that he has helped us and cheered us up when we were down. ln memory ofa good friend and shipmate. we dedicate this cruisebook to: GONZO W... . at ,, .,-.1-,. i
