To the Grier Family,
I wanted to say Gene Grier was like a Uncle to my family. We have known him since our grandfather William "Snook" Price worked at A.E. Grier many many years ago. Gene, Genie Boy and Rob was like brothers. So we claimed him. He was a generous person and will surely be missed. A servant of all servants. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Rest in peace your labor has not been in vain.

Along with my Great-Great Grandfather John Alver Grier, A.E. Grier formed Grier Funeral Service in 1930.
Whilst I sat at the knee of my Great Grandmother, the late Hazeline Grier Kirkpatrick, I listened as she recalled fond memories of Daddy John, and occasionally wove and spun the colorful tapestries that were Aunt Fannie and Cousin Gene.
Meanwhile, with the passing of Arthur Eugene Grier, Jr. the industry has lost a master of the craft.
Hearts are heavy and bereft by this immeasurable loss.
Sincere Condolences,
Rev. C. Eugene Overstreet

You stand in my life as a giant oak tree in the forest. I'll always love you Gene.

My deepest sympathy to the Grier Family. Gene was one of my Mom’s god sons. She loved doing his shirts and bagging them like they came from the cleaners. I appreciate how much he used to look out for her. You are truly going to be missed by the entire Griertown Community.
