Gunnin

BRACK: Gunnin, former commissioner, was respected for his vision

By Elliott Brack |  One of the first elected Gwinnett officials to anticipate how the county would grow and who helped pave the way for it, died on June 30.  He is Ray Gunnin, who was 92 when he passed away at the home of his daughter in Colorado. Gunnin was elected in 1968 to represent County Commission District 2 (the Norcross and Lilburn areas, which now includes Peachtree Corners). In those days, the population of Gwinnett was 65,362 residents.
