A tribute to a wonderful father in law, who always showed me love and who I was glad to spend some time with in his last few days. May the family be surrounded by strength and love during this difficult time.

Please accept our condolences on the loss of "Sergent" Grippin.
I can remember when he was a member of My Dad's crew (Maj. Ridley Stuart) During the Vietnam war, when they were stationed at Westover with the 99th.
He used to come over to our house with his family (What a great group!) and I remember a great time being had by all of us. I remember my Dad telling us of the B-52 crash which he was injured in, and what a miracle it was that he survived. What a great guy and a wonderful...

Uncle Spencer and his family were like a second family to me, my sister Lea and my brother Lyn. He did so much to help our family. Although life took us down different paths, Spencer has never been far from my heart. He always made us feel included and important - and everything was fun! When I think of Spencer I always smile..just can't help it..even at the end. :) I know I miss him deeply and hope to see him in heaven where I can give him a big ole hug!
Our hearts and...
