Bernard Grygar Obituary
Bernard Lee Grygar, 70, crossed over on October 21, 2019, at his country home outside Conroe. He was born November 12, 1948, in Dallas, Texas, to Josephine and Walter Grygar and is survived by his mother.

Bernie was a graduate of Rogers High School, Rogers, TX and received a bachelors degree in business from Baylor University. He was in special risks insurance most of his career and after retirement worked as a scribe for special needs students at Lone Star College.
He was a member of First Christian Church Conroe where he once served as an elder and assisted weekly with food pantry deliveries. He was an avid reader, vacationer, and theater goer. He was always active and tried not to miss his regular water aerobics classes.
He was a wonderful, loving husband, father, and grandfather. He loved music and compiling songs into playlists to enjoy and share with others. He was hardworking, fun loving, and liked both cooking in his kitchen and dining on special recipes. Most of all he enjoyed playing games and joking with his family and friends.
A celebration of his life will be on Tuesday, November 5, at 11 a.m. in the sanctuary of First Christian Church Conroe, 3600 N. Loop 336 West, followed by lunch in the church's gathering room

His smile, his laugh, his love of family, his childhood antics growing up with his cousins, his card and domino playing, his love of conversation.....all these wonderful memories will remain in our minds and hearts. We will miss you Bernard, but you will always be with us and we will meet again...to share more stories.
Our prayers for the family that the Lord will shower you with peace, calm, and rest. May the sharing of memories with each other console and keep you.

Bernie was always in a good mood, laughing and enjoying life. A few years back a group of eight, got to share a house and vacation together in Maine. What fun. Bernie and Janice were a part of that group, that is how I will remember Bernie! Our love and prayers are with you Janice, and the entire family. May Gods peace and love comfort you during this transition.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
