Not sure what to say?

Enjoyed working with Rich and Weez on many real estate transactions over the years. Lots of fishing, skiing and great conversations. Love you both very much!

Rich Grubb sure new how to pick a wife as she was there with him until the end. He always was a great leader and a friend to those who knew him. He tried to make people feel good about themselves. When we were young, I remember going on a snipe hunt with Rich. We had so many good times together. I love that one of his son's is a priest. He was such a good father and friend. I am looking forward to seeing him again on the other side.

I remember Richard Grubb going to my mom's 85th birthday party at the Trinity Lutheran church. He always tried to make people feel important. He was the best athlete in our graduating class. He sure new how to pick a wonderful wife. She was there by his side to the end. I love and miss Rich so much as he had a moral conscience and was such a good parent and a successful businessman. I love that one of his sons was a priest. The son that gave his eulogy at his funeral did a wonderful job. I...

My deep and sincere condolences to the Grubb family for your loss. Rich was a true gentleman--- a kind, loving and devoted husband, father and grandparent. He led a full, rich, exemplary life that manifested his faith and commitment to others. I feel so fortunate and blessed to have taught and coached Rich Jr., David, Paul and Bobby during my years at Jesuit High School, and for the unwavering support of Rich and Mary Louise through both good and challenging times. Rest In Peace, dear friend...

Our deepest sympathy on the passing of Rich. Our memories are from the older days in Terra Linda/ Cedar Mill area. The Grubbs were our neighbors for many years as they were raising there family. We were fortunate to have them as our neighbors. Its hard to believe time has passed so quickly, it seems almost like yesterday! Best wishes always! Your friends, Ramona, Mike and Jacki Borger ( Jim passed away 5 years ago)

Rich was one of the best leaders I have ever met. When we were in high school, he was the quarterback on our football team. Rich and I were the only ones to letter in football for four years. His team was the only team from Langley high school who beat Oak Harbor high school. Our coach told us we would remember every game we played, and he was right. Rich was not only a great athlete, but he also was a great husband for Wezzy. She was a great wife to take care of him until he died, and he...
