I was very fortunate to get to know Grady, Craig, and Mike Martin through the construction industry. What a wonderful group of guys, and it was such a pleasure to get a call from Grady because of his friendliness and kindness. I will miss him greatly. God bless the family at this time. My heart goes out to all of you. Love to you all. Liz Nuby.
