Joe Grimes was a lover of life! You could always find Joe doing what he loved best. Whether it be at the ballpark throwing his famous knuckleball, shucking oysters for family and friends, or taking time to listen to a dear friend or loved one. Joe made an impact on everyone he encountered in life. And will always be remembered for the loving kind soul he is.
