I had the opportunity to work with Gerry for a number of years. We were both principals in Hillsboro and I had so much admiration for him as a school principal. We visited professionally, which impacted me as a principal. I had the opportunity to work with a number of teachers he hired and they were exemplary staff members. Gerry loved his family deeply. After our retirements I had chances to visit over coffee and each time in the conversations he would shared stories about his wife,...

Gerry was principal while I was teaching at Butternut Creek school . He will be missed very much! He was a great principal !

I send my deepest condolences to you, the family of Gerry Grover. I was hired by "Mr. Grover" to teach on his staff at Butternut Creek Elementary School in 1978 and taught for him until he retired.

That was his gift for which I will always be grateful! Thank you for...

I followed Gerry as the principal at Butternut Creek and I will always be so grateful to him for the fabulous staff he hired. I enjoyed working with Gerry and always appreciated his 'kid first' attitude.

Dear David, Peter, and Diana, I was hired by your Dad at Butternut Creek Elementary and enjoyed the best years of my teaching career there. Your Dad helped me to be a confident teacher and encouraged me to speak up and share my ideas with others. I´ll always be grateful to him for that. He created a strong team at Butternut and I´m fortunate to have many of them as good friends today.
