May God's richest blessing be with Grady, Terrie and the Robards Family following Grady's death. He was a wonderful neighbor and friend on Granada Road for 19-years. I was sad when I learned of his passing.

I met Grady in 1970, when I became a member of the Prairie Village Police Dept. Grady always made the day go by faster and more enjoyable with his humor and kindness to every one he met. He was one of the best detectives I ever met. I learned a lot from Grady and he will be sadly missed. To sum it up, Grady was one of those people that you meet in life that you will always remember and cherish his friendship. He always made you smile and never had a negative word about anyone.
My condolence to the family He will be missed.
