To the Grassel Family
I was a classmate of Randy's at McQuaid and we also attended camp together many summers during grammar school, always having a lot of fun together.. ...Randy would make sure I got put in right field so no fly balls would come my way, providing much relief to my non-athletic self. I will remember him fondly. My sympathy to your family.
Kevin Farrell, McQuaid '70

Holding you in heart and prayer. Coach Graasel taught our girls to be fierce competitors while being stellar people. We hold fond memories of East Side.

Dear Grassel Family,
I'm saddened to hear about Coach Grassel's passing. Coach Grassel made such a positive influence on my life. I often think of him and EBA, from midnight madness and watching Pistol Pete to the intimidation in the eyes of our opponents as we ran our tight warm-up drill that Coach Grassel had us practice ad nauseam. Coach Grassel treated us like we were a professional basketball team and we felt like one. To be 11 years old and be a part of something with so much passion...

Patty - Terry, Lexi and I send our condolences. We fondly remember Randy coaching Lexi through EBA, all he taught her and the many weekend trips spent with him and the team. He was a talented coach for girls playing basketball at all ages and a great all- around guy.

I will forever be thankful for the time that Coach Grassel put in to coaching my little league softball team. It is men like him who truly change the world.

Jen, I didn't know your Dad, but I wanted to say how sorry I am for his passing. May he rest in peace and watch over you all.

Patty, Zeb, Daniel and Jen, Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Randy has meant so much to our lives and will be terribly missed by all of us. He had such a big influence on Tess and I know that the love was there even after we left the area. We are heartbroken for you all, but know that Randy will be coaching from above and that he can't wait for those grandkids to start playing organized ball. Thank you for sharing him on so many nights, weekends and roadtrips.
