A memorable man. Tall, kind smile. And so much more, good qualities, that I don't know but that I see he passed down to his son Pete.

What an awesome man. I met him approximately 42 years ago when I was in high school and dating Peter. He was always kind to me and seemed to accept me when I felt like I didn't fit into the Grenader world, being a poor girl whose self-confidence was lacking. He accepted me and seemed to enjoy our high school romance. He was a total class act. I will miss that Texan gentle man. Rest in peace, Joe.
