Chuck was such a beautiful, gentle, inclusive leader- a powerful, visionary leader and a big miss.

Chuck was an advocate and practitioner of "Equitable Development" before it was a thing.
In my work in urban planning and community development, Chuck Grigsby was always at the vanguard of facilitating investments where others would not. He was a creative and energetic change agent that gave wise and enduring council. His legacy of advocacy for social justice and exemplary professional practice in support of equitable development endures.

A true friend and just a great guy. One I was proud to call my friend. He’ll be missed but he will always be in hearts

He was was a true gentleman and champion for our people. He was a real prince of a man. May he rest in power with the ancestors! Deepest sympathy to his family.
