Not sure what to say?

The Aldersons send condolences and all our love. Grid was the best of Uncles and loved by his in-laws from Rochester Minnesota. I was at his wedding as a five week old and feel his presence as a blessing all of my 73 years.

I just learned the news and my heart sank! My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in "Grids" large and loving family. My mother (Bertie)loved her cousin and I knew him from the Padgett reunions as "Doctor John" He was a wonderful person.

I'm sorry for your loss. J0HN was amazing Dr.Back about 1948 I was about 1o year old farm boy I got my right hand crushed in a corn sheller and he put it together that I have perfect use of it,I'm able to type and served time in the Marine's. THANKS
