My condolences to the Grinnan family.

I worked with Bob cleaning chimneys in 1986 and we became good friends. He was a unique character and I learned much from him. Whenever I visited Dallas I made a point to drop by his home and he always welcomed me enthusiastically. The last time I went by his home had been replaced, which led me to look him up.

His spirit will be missed.

My sincerest condolences to Bob's family. I started working with Bob in 1992 cleaning chimneys and for the years that followed Bob always treated me like a son. I learned many things from Bob and will always remember him. God Speed Bob, I will miss you.

I remeber this awsome family growing up in our neighborhood. Those days are gone and we've all moved forward in our lives. I am very grateful to have known this family and I send my deepest sympathy to Mrs Grinnan and family.

Bobby, I can't believe you're gone. I barely knew you and I hadn't seen you for almost a decade until my grandmother's funeral a month ago but you were an amazing person. I felt honored and excited to have a drink with you afterward in light of how you always offered me a beer when I was younger. I remember you trying to teach me to play dominos...I'm not sure I ever learned but visiting you was always fun. I can't believe you're gone. My mother thought it was incredibly nice to talk to you...

Dear Mrs. Grinnan, Cathy & all the family,
My deepest sympathies go out to all of you. I will keep you in my thoughts and my prayers during this saddest of times.
Love, Susan

Dear Grinnan Family,
I want to express the entire Sullins Family sorrow for the loss of Bobby. Being a large Catholic family in the same neighborhood most of my sisters and I knew Bobby, or one of the siblings while growing up. Our prayers are with all of you.
Sincerely,
Claudia Sullins

Mrs Grinnan, Cathy and all the family - I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Bobbie. My memories of him are all of College age but he was delightful and fun. I know your loss is profound. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Fondly, Kathy

Grinnans, I reconnected with Bob a couple of years ago when we discovered that we both enjoyed motorcycling through South America. I am shocked by his loss. We corresponded regularly. I have fond memories of vacations in the hill country and time at the Grinnan house in Dallas. Peace be with you all.

Mrs Grinnan and all of the Grinnan family, I just read about Bobby in the paper and am so sorry for your loss. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I know that your faith is strong and that God will bring you through this. All my love, Marianne Bartley Lockwood
