Dear Jackie: I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I feel as though I knew your husband because of all you were going thru here in Santa Fe with him and his not feeling well. I just want you to know I am thinking of you and sending you much much love. My heart is with you.

To my good friend Jackie and all of Roland's family and friends,

I met Roland in 1975 when I worked for him. We didn't become close until after that, sometime in 1977 and much more so in 1978 and all the following years.
During my two year employment, our relationship was more professional than personal; he was a mentor, always fair and generous to a fault, and always a perfect gentleman.
We later became close personal friends, and I got to know the fun side of him. He...

It was our great pleasure to know Roland Grimm. He was a charming, courteous and kind man, and we have happy memories of him and of Jackie at our home in Simorre and at their home in Pellefigue.

Jackie, we send our love.

To the Family of Roland Grimm,

I worked at EM&R as a summer job in 1968 and 1969, and after college graduation in 1970 through the transition to Barings, leaving in 2001. During the EM&R years, I’m sure each of us remembers being called in to Mr. Grimm’s office so that he could personally announce our annual bonus. Roland Grimm respected and was respected by all of us, and made sure it was a great place to work. He set the gold standard, and will be missed.

Dear Jackie:

I have so many fond memories of times spent together in the past both in St. Thomas and many other places as well. He was a true gentleman. I will never forget the first time I met him when he walked into my office in St. Thomas. His personal presense spoke volumes without him having to utter a word. Interesting isn't it.
