James Bryan Grubbs Jr.

I have been a friend since college and since his marriage to my childhood friend, Neat. Bryan was always a fierce competitor and we had many duels to the death at handball, paddleball and squash at the downtown Y and later in tennis, golf and hunting. There are many stories and fond memories. Then we got old and that is the ways things go. Bryan will be missed. RIP.

Bryan and I were good friends in Columbia, sc back in the day. Grew up together, graduated from high school together and had many wonderful times. We went to college in different places and then his family moved to Houston. We saw each other a couple of times over the year in Columbia. My condolences to his sisters, Betsy and Nancy.

Bryan was a class act and true gentleman. A great mentor at work and on the golf course. We always bet $1 on the UT Aggie game to keep the friendly spirit alive. A godly man who will be missed by many. RIP "Grubbers"

George and I will miss seeing Brain's smiling face on Christmas Eve. Over the years we have shared many dinners at his sister's home. He will be missed.
