My deepest sympathies to the Grimes family.

He inspired me to live a life committed to sincerity, kindness and humility. I am honored and blessed to have know a true gentleman who was able to inspire me in these ways by just being...

Michelle. In my brief two years at Villanova, I had the pleasure meeting and knowing John. Being from Pittsburgh, I had an immediate connection with him. He was a great friend and DPM brother.

You and your family have our deepest sympathy Please accept our sincere sympathy. We'll remember you in our prayers. May God's peace give you strength in this most trying time. Ruth &...

John Grimes welcomed the ELAM Program to the Gregg Conference Center twice a year for the past 10 years. He made sure that we had everything we wanted or needed; he always was eager to be of service; and he was honorable and sincere. We will miss him greatly, and our stays will not be the same without him.

John and I worked together at PSFS in the late 1970's. I stayed in touch with John through my association with The American College over the years, and saw John as recently as last week while at the college.

He was always warm and friendly, a true gentleman and professional.

I will miss you John.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the entire Grimes Family. It was indeed a privilege to know John and because of him the world is a better place. May God bless him and welcome him into his kingdom.

Iwill miss you very much.gone but not forgotten.

truly a freind.

You always had a smiling face
We never saw a frown
You always made us laugh
And wore your kindness like a crown
Everyone will say
You were one of the nicest people they knew
So we pray
To have God take care of you
Spread your happiness in heaven
And live the life we want you to
So spread those wings
Spread them big
So we will never forget those priceless memories
You will be missed
Never to be...
