Not sure what to say?

I knew Jim as a teacher, coach, spiritual advisor and most importantly a friend. He was such a positive influence on the lives of so many during his years at St. Dominic in the 70's. We also spent a few weeks together in Europe as a group of American "ambassadors". I was a wild child and about 25 years ago he looked me up in OFallon. I think he just wanted to know that I turned out okay. Jim taught me that the good Lord would take care of those who led good, Christian, purpose driven lives...

Our prayers & love are with Sharon & the entire Grimaud Family. We will treasure our memories of Jim forever.

Sharon, we just learned about Jim´s passing.. Please accept Ed and My sincere condolences. Jim was great guy! We remember our 4 week trip with you two. What a great time we had!

Sharon, Debbie, Deni, Danny, Janie, Judy, Jill, John, Jerry, Jane, Jeanne, Joe, Jeff and Nancy, Please accept my deepest sympathy on Jim's passing. I know you will all miss him very much.

I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. I will miss Jim. I know many others will also miss him.

I remember Father Grimaud when he chaperoned our People to People tour to Europe in 1971. He was so kind, funny and laid-back. He helped our friend Susan when she had to return home due to her father passing away. He was a gentle soul and I am so sorry for your loss.
