General Information:
Cyril was a quiet gentle man with perfect manners that did not desert him even at the end when he had severe Alzheimer's disease. The early Grays were a very musical family, everyone playing some instrument so that they could form their own band, but later Cyril's interests centred around filming big game and sailing.
