It’s weird and sad to see prominent figures of my formative youth passing. Time moves ever onward.

It doesn’t say how old he was, but there was this about him starting in the industry later in life: …he said he was 35 when he made his first Doom level, calling himself “a late bloomer with games,” while Apogee founder Scott Miller said Gray was “in his 40s” when the studio hired him out of the Doom mod scene to work on Duke Nukem 3D.

He had a terrific sense of humor, too. For example, in Duke 3D he made this hung jury room. A real legend. What’s the joke?
