Gary E. Grinder, 63, of Quakertown, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, September 8, 2025.
Born on July 12, 1962, in Bristol, PA, he was the son of the late Stanley, Jr. and Maree (Benson) Grinder.
A graduate of Delhaas High School’s Class of 1980, Gary went on to college at Pennco Tech, graduating with his associates degree in microelectronics. During his lengthy career, he worked for RCA, later moving to General Electric, then Martin Marietta. Due to his disability, he was able to transition into the role of a stay-at-home dad, a role he loved and was proud of.
Outside of work, he found joy in fishing, hunting, and tying his own flies. He cherished the time he spent with his wife and daughter.
He was an active member of North Penn Gun Club and Great Swamp Fish and Game.
Gary will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 34 years: Kimberly Grinder; daughter: Karley Grinder; sisters: Robin Murphy and Claudine Booz; as well as several nieces and nephews.
