Jim was like a brother to me as I've know and loved him for
sixty some years. He had a great laugh and a love for life.
Was a great husband to Nancy and a good father to his six childred.
There will be a empty space in my heart which he had filled with his kindness.
In loving memory: Elaine

We only knew Jim and Nancy for the past 2yrs.But we had some wonderful times to remember. He was a fun person and will experience in life, which I was full of questions about.I know life has a lot of stormy circumstances and Jims are over. We are told in the Bible,That to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Jim is with him now. He has made it home!! John 3:16-17-18.

Dear Jim

You and Nancy are two of the best friends we were privileged to have here in Arizona or any where. We both enjoyed our frequent get-togethers at your home and ours. I especially enjoyed golfing with you,and the nineteenth hole we enjoyed together. I am sure you are with Jesus and are now looking out for us.

Our names are also Jim and Nancy (Labowe) and we met the Grouts many years ago when we learned to dance country western style. Jim, you and Nancy were our inspiration for a happy couple. You chided Nancy and she chided right back! We nicknamed you the "Loving Bickersons." We will miss your mischievous smile, your humor, your hugs. May you rest in peace at God's side, and rest comfortably in a special place in our hearts. We will love you always, Nancy & Jim Labowe

To family and friends of Jim Grout. All though we only knew Jim for a short period of time, we really liked meeting him while we stayed in AZ. He was a gentle man who was a very compassionate person and loved his family dearly. When we brought lobsters to him from Maine this past January, I believe Jim knew how much we loved and cared for the man we enjoyed so greatly on our visit. May god give him that perfect peace forever. Ronald & Beverly Burgess

We will miss Jim's humor and his great smile. We were good
friends with him and loved his laugh. Lot's of good years at
the cabin in Granby. He will be missed.

We became friends with Nancy and Jim when they moved across the street from us. Jerry missed his "sitting in the garage visiting" buddy when they moved so Jim could have a painting room. We always enjoyed seeing his latest painting projects and are impressed with his skills of woodworking and painting. We had a lot of laughs together along with some serious discussions and miss not having Jim around to add more.

The neighborhood will not be the same with the loss of our dear friend, Jim. We will miss the friendly bantar we shared and the great friendship.

I have loved you for the past 62 years that we have been married, and I have never doubted your love for me. May god bless you and keep you until me meet again. Rest in peace. Love always Nancy

We met Nancy and Jim at our church 20 years ago. We shared the same love for dancing, played bocce together and spent many New Year Eve celebrations together. Jim loved my pasta and whenever he came to dinner he wanted it. We shared many years of laughter and joy and were there for each other in times of troubles. We will miss Jim in our lives. We know God has a special place for him in His kingdom.
