It is with great sadness that I learn of Grover's passing. I lived across the street from Jim (as he was known then) from birth thru high school. That is the Jim that I will remember. Playing cowboys at the cotton gin, camping, and all the mischievous things that kids get into. I look fwd. to seeing him on the other side. May all that knew him have as fond a memory of him as I. My sympathies to his family.

Grover was a true "Dunnite"; I can say that because I was from Garland and dated in Dunn. He was a great fraternity brother, and I only wish I could have kept up with him after Duke. I am sure he will be missed.

I am so sad to hear of Grover's passing. He was a great friend and classmate at Duke. We had many wonderful times together in Durham, Wash.DC, Atlanta, St. Marys, Fernandina Beach and in particular, on Cumberland Island.
Our thoughts are with Sandra and the extended Henderson family.
