Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont said: "I remember Jimmy fondly for his personal kindness and generosity but most of all for his love of the Labour Party, which he served with distinction for a great many years. "Even after he stepped down as an MP, he continued to support the party in any way he could. "Jimmy was a formidable man, growing up in the Gorbals and known to be a good boxer. He never forgot his roots and used his experience to fight hard for those who needed someone to speak up for them." First Minister Alex Salmond also paid tribute to Mr Wray. He said: "My condolences go to Jimmy's family. He was a fixture in Glasgow politics for many years both at council and Parliamentary level. "I was a Parliamentary colleague of Jimmy's for a number of years and always admired the forthright way he spoke out for his constituents." Mr Wray's age is a matter of dispute in death as in life."
