Identity Released: Body Washes Up At Port Of Pensacola
January 22, 2015
The name of a man whose body was found near the Port of Pensacola Wednesday afternoon has been released.
Detective Dylan Stackpole said the man – Alvin Gray, 66, of the 900 block of Massachusetts Avenue – was last seen around 1:10 a.m. Tuesday when he left home and told his sister he was going to the store. Stackpole said Gray’s sister contacted the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office around 1:35 p.m. Tuesday and reported him missing.
It has not yet been determined how long Gray was in the water. Stackpole said a police officer found Gray’s car at Plaza DeLuna, which is located directly across from the port, around 1:40 p.m. Wednesday.
A fisherman found Gray’s body near 700 S. Barracks Street around 12:50 p.m. Wednesday and contacted police. His body was found on the rocks on the east side of the port. Lt. Chuck Mallett said there were no obvious signs of foul play, but an investigation continues into Gray’s death.

To the family ! I will keep u in my heart n prayers always. Al was my best friend. I got so many of the purses he sold. He was the most loving n caring man. He was willing to help anyone. He saw this old lady walking,he pick her up . Took her were she need to go. Took her home. He said it was to hot for her to be walking. What a wonderful man. He was truly a family man. My heart has a empty hole in it. When the news hit me, it wouldn’t go in. And it still feel unreal. To the Gray family, God call home a great man. And in due time, u will heal. Just remember all the happy moment,causes with him I know it was never a sad moment. May God bless n keep u all. Keep smiling , because MR ALVIN GRAY ALWAYS CARRIED A LOVELY SMILE.
