SALINAS - Eugene Arlyle Grensted, 91, better known as Arly, went to be with his Lord on Saturday, April 14th 2012. To all who knew him, he was a gentle, kind and loving husband, father, and friend and he will be greatly missed.
Arly was born in Alhambra, California on June 16, 1920 and later resided in Salinas, California where he established his own photography business of 40+ years. It was there where he fell in love with and married, Lois Gunnell. They had a beautiful marriage of thirty-five years and had three children. Two years after Lois' death, Arly was blessed to meet and marry another special lady, Beverly Hillard.
Arly is survived by his three children, two stepsons, seven grandchildren and one great grandchild.
There will be a memorial service held at Carmel Presbyterian Church on Saturday, April 28 at 2 PM. For any donations in his memory, the family is suggesting the Salinas Rotary Charitable Fund, Rotary Club of Salinas, P.O. Box 676, Salinas, CA 93902-0676.
