Not sure what to say?

This candle is for my older brother and one of the best men who ever lived!!! I love him, and his wife June, my beautiful older sister!!! He was a man of great wisdom, and when he informed me about something important, I LISTENED!!! It really helped me in a lot of situations later in my life, because HE HAD ALREADY BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT!!! HE, was a man who deserved all the respect he received!!! You are sorely missed my wonderful brother, by EVERY person who's path you crossed in your...

He was a very nice man, I was not aware of all of his accomplishments he lived a very full life. Prayers to your entire family!!!

Grover was a wonderful man and a great neighbor, he will be missed

I just heard about Grover today, We are so sorry for your loss he was one of my favorite cousins, a very special man, we can't make it to the funeral because we are in Hemet Ca. for the winter, we are sending our love and praying for you and your family, so sorry we can't be there

I've heard the name Grover Thomas my whole life. My dad was Roy Hastedt also Buick Plant Protection. I must say 92 years is wonderful. Sorry for your loss.

I am SO HEARTBROKEN!!! Grover was not only my brother in law, he was also my good friend, and my favorite brother in law!!! His wife June was and STILL IS the same thing I saw that he saw, the sweetest most jaw dropping gorgeous woman that God ever created!!! He was plant protection officer at Buick Plant #36, where I worked for 39 years, and I'd stop at his booth and talk to him all the time on my way in or out of work!! Several times he even came down to my job to visit me when he went on...

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for your lose!!! Mr Thomas was like a dad to me at times, huh Deb?!? He was kind, fair, gentle and wisdom. He WILL be missed!!

Many wonderful memories come to mind when thinking about Uncle Grover...one is this song, I could kick my pants for taking a chance on missing Honolulu for down on the beach there's a cute little peach enjoying the Hula Hula and it's plain to see she is making eyes at me and my heart is all aglow, but how can I be a Romeo thru a rusty telescope! Prayers and Love to Aunt June and family.

I am truly happy I got to know Mr Thomas. He and his beautiful wife are my step daughter's grandparents and I loved what they stood for. They truly had a marriage only most of us dream of. The family lost a wonderful man and will forever be changed. My heart goes out to all who are grieving his passing.
