My heartfelt sympathy to Connie and the family. Connie I am so thankful your children are close by to offer you comfort in your grief and to share memories .
I often think of the many weekends you and I spent at our girls softball tournaments while our husbands coached. Now they are both probably coaching the angels softball teams.

Mr. Bankert a wonderful and kind man. I had the pleasure of playing softball with his 2 of his daughters and he was one of our coaches. I never heard any type of negativity nor saw him get angry. The world certainly could use more Grove Bankerts. Family you are in my thought and prayers.

I worked with Grove at black and decker and he was my boss. Always had a toothpick in his mouth and a smile on his face. He was a good guy. My condolences to his family. Rest in peace mr Grove Bankers.
