Dear family and friends of Tom Grill, I am so sorry to learn of my cousin Tom's passing. Our fathers were brothers and although I had not seen Tommy in many, many years I thought of him often. He was a kind and caring man who loved his family deeply and I know he is truly missed. I wish him Godspeed.

My condolences to Tom's dear family. I cared very much for Tom. He gave me so many words of wisdom that comforted me and carried me through so many situations in my life. Even though his chair will be without him, it will be filled by yet another and hopefully all the knowledge Tom gave to us will be carried on to the next.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Tom Grill. Tom was a very special friend to my late husband Steve and I. The last time we saw Tom was a year ago last summer when he was in the process of moving to San Felipe. He came to our home that day (bringing me flowers as usual). We barbecued hamburgers, soaked in the spa and pool, played with our two dogs, and just had a wonderful last visit with Tom. He was always so upbeat and positive about life and always spoke so fondly of his family. Horses and dogs were a big part of his life and each time we saw him, there was a new story to tell about them. Tom was such a gentle man - I never heard him say an unkind thing about anyone. His warm smile and great hugs will remain in my memory always.

I WAS HIS INSURANCE AGENT AND TOM WAS ALWAYS A JOY WHEN HE CAME INTO MY OFFICE. HE WAS ONE OF MY LOYAL CUSTOMERS AND I DEFINITELY WILL MISS HIS SMILING FACE AND HIS SMILING ATTITUDE. NOT TOO MANY LIKE HIM, HE WAS ONE OF A KIND.

Tom was always a gentleman. A kind and thoughtful man who was a tremendous asset as a Clark County inspector taking the ups and downs life had to offer with a delightful sense of humor. He will be missed.

Please accept my most sincere condolences. I was a co-worker with Tom for several years in Clark County, and even a few years before during the McCarran Airport project. Tom was always quick to a smile and a positive thought or funny story. May you have many fond memories to keep him close to you in the coming years. God Bless.
