Mr. Grate was one of the finest men I have had the pleasure of knowing. He was a joy to be around and to work with. He knew what was important in life and he had his priorities in order. It breaks my heart still that he is no longer with us, but I know he is happy in Heaven. Patty, I think about you and your sons often and I hope that you are all doing well. You are in my prayers.
