I first met Mr. Grimmel when I was 16 and worked for my dad and the Massey Ferguson Dealer, Haddox Equipment, next door. I met the kids there too. What a truly wonderful family. I have had the honor of renewing that friendship over the past few years, and have seen the love in that family, caring for their dad, and the wit and joy that Mr. Grimmel maintained even as his health was failing. I love you Mr. Grimmel. I know you are enjoying Heaven now. To Frannie and all the boys, you have been a beautiful example to all of us of how to love and care for a parent who has always done the same for you and so many others. Your dad was one of a kind and I know you all know that! Love, Lill

Jack, Tom, Frances and Richard,

Words cannot express the loss you must feel, but I know in my heart he is in a much better place that we shall all strive to be. There is no doubt he is God's presence.

I wish I could have seen him when I was in MD last month, but I plan on seeing him again in that Heavenly Home.

May God Bless you all.

Dear Tom, Jack, Fran, and Rich, My heart is very heavy thinking of your grief and loss---your Dad was so admired as a man of impeccable character, as well as a wonderful father, grandfather, and husband. Growing up in Maryland, I have such fond childhood memories of our beloved, fun-loving and sweet Uncle George (and Aunt Lucy). Through the years, I have admired the love, pride and generous spirit for his greatest joy, his children and grandchildren. He and Aunt Lucy created an amazing legacy and I am confident that they are both finally together in heaven, smiling with pride and contentment.
With love and hugs from Texas, Your cousin, Dottie and husband, Tony Perri

Rich, Frannie, Tom, and Jack, don't know just what to say, except your dad was one in a million. He and your mom, Lucy, knew what they were doing when they raised you. You are all a reflection of their caring and loving ways, and most importantly the positive outlook that pours out of you and into your own families. He's happy and at peace now with Ms. Lucy; We just know they are smiling and dancing on the clouds once again. God Bless!
