Not sure what to say?

Just found out about John’s passing. John was quite a guy, wonderful doctor and a A+ patriot. I worked with him when he ran for the u.s. senate.
Him being a naval pilot and I a pilot in general aviation flew together while he was campaigning for the senate. John taught me military techniques when flying together. As I remember, Mrs Grady was also a patriot and a wonderful person.
I’m sure he is being missed by his family ever so much.
Rest In Peace, John. Wayne Rickert...

Thanks for to all he did for Laura and I. He always showed us kindness and warmth.

I was unaware of Doctor Grady's passing. It was a great privilege to call him my friend. There are many many memories, all pleasant, that are so easy to recall. Our country lost a great man

Dr. Grady was an inspiration to all. I am a better person and a better Christian for having known him. He was an American Patriot, an author, a statesman, a veteran, a staunch defender of American Values and the Christian Faith. I will miss him. Doc, you fought the battle, and I am sure that God is well pleased, you can rest now in the arms of the Lord.
