Sending my deepest sympathy to Lenna, my best friend of over 65 years, and the remaining Grivins family members. May God bring you all comfort and peace. John is now free from his suffering and has moved on from the burdens of this world. God Bless

Lenna I am so sorry to hear of John's passing, my prayers are with you, if there is anything you need please let me know, RIP John. Barb

Many wonderful memories of John and Nancy, babysitting Peter and working at the Drag way as a kid. I hope the many memories the family holds bring them peace at this sad time. He was a nice guy to the skinny kid next door.

My how I miss the Old Days at The Strip and the memories, I'll never forget John taking me down the Strip in the AFX'r he bought off Ram Chargers and what a ride that was. John brought many memories to many of us back in the old days of racing at Martin Dragway. Rest in Peace My Old Friend.

R.I.P. My Friend.
