and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. Jim Gray retired in the late 1980s and lived with his wife in Garelochhead, the family home since 1975. He stayed busy even while in retirement; he and his wife were key figures in the renovation and management of the Gibson Hall, a community center. He also maintained an active interest in public energy policy, particularly in Scotland. In 2008 he authored the pamphlet Electric Power in the New Scotland, which proposed a renewed commitment to nuclear power generation in Scotland and which formed part of a submission that he made to the Scottish Government Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee's Inquiry into Scotland's Energy Future. Later in retirement, he lost his sight as a result of glaucoma and subsequently developed chest complaints. After a short period of deteriorating health, he died in the family home on August 2nd, 2010.
