Russel "Buck" Grundy

My deepest sympathy to the entire Grundy family. Russ/Coach Grundy had such a profound impact on so many of us, on Newman HS, and on his adopted community, Wausau. He was larger than life. I mostly knew him through my friendship with the Grundy kids, primarily Dave, and later as my tennis coach. I always felt welcome in his home, and enjoyed seeing him around Newman. He had a zest for life that spread to all around him. He will live on in all of us. Thanks for everything, Coach.

God Bless you Russ. You surely positively shaped many lives in the Wausau area. A role model for all.
Thank you!

Grundy Family, In loving memory of your father. I am so grateful for his kindness to me and all of the Gillespie's. You are all such an amazing reflection of your Dad and Mom. He was a true gentleman. So sorry . Much love to all of you.

We're sorry for your loss. Condolences to the Grundy family and you'll be in our thoughts and prayers.

Condolences to the Grundy Family. Russ was one of a kind. He was a great teacher, coach and person. Russ had a way to make you feel special. That little tap on the head and little smile he would give us, I will always remember. At times he would talk about his past in Illinois , his family at home and his family at Newman. He touched many lives and made a lot of us feel like part of his family. Not many people are able to do that. He will be greatly missed.

I had a chance to visit with coach about a month or so ago. Gave him a long overdue thank you for the principles and integrity he instilled upon me on, and more importantly off the field. A great coach, teacher and a special person. His legend will continue to live on in those he touched. My sincere sympathy to the Grundy family.
