“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord…” Psalm 37: 23
If you thought all the family birthday parties were over for 2022 in the Gay-Parker family, you were wrong.
Why? Because on Sunday, December 18, 2022, eight children, several grandchildren, a wife, a brother, a crowd of nieces, nephews, church friends and church leaders, and a virtual accompaniment of the same types helped “Rob,” Uncle Rob, Bishop Robert James Gay celebrate his 90th birthday at the Greenville, NC Hilton.
“Rob,” dominantly known as Bishop and Uncle Rob, is the 9th child of the late Ma Lillie Parker Gay(1897-1984) and the late “Pa Bob” Robert Gay(1896-1978). Bishop-Uncle Rob Gay was born on December 22, 1932 on the Stantonsburg Road, about three miles from Joyner’s Crossroads.
Bishop-Uncle Rob Gay is marrIed to Mother Ethel Gay. He is the father of Billy Boyd, Dorothy “Tut” Gay, Robert “Bud” Gay, Peggy Wadsworth, Tim Gay, Pam James, Tawanna Johnson, and Kareem Gay. Bishop Uncle Rob is also the brother of Deacon David Gay.
