Robert Graetz

Thank You Sir For Your Dedication To The Cause, Rest With God

My condolences to the family. Its a shame that the Civil rights that he helped with back in the 1960's, still exist, today. One day, our heavenly father, will definitely eliminate, all injustices, that exist, in this world. May the God of Comfort, continue to comfort the family, during these difficult times.

Dear Jeannie and Family
I was privileged to have known Rev. Graetz and you from the many Holocaust Educational Programs we shared together at AUM. My family and I are truly sorry for your loss. Please accept our sincerest condolences to the entire Graetz family. May G-d grant you strength, peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Max Herzel
Friend and Holocaust Survivor

It is most befitting to accord the title “Servant Leader” to Pastor Graetz. My connection with the Graetz family began when I was a teenager growing up in Montgomery. When the Bus Protest Movement began in 1955 Pastor Graetz was at the center of the storm alongside Dr. King, Dr. Abernathy, Mrs. Rosa Parks, Mrs. Johnnie Carr, Dr. Benjamin J. Simms, Mr. Rufus Lewis, Mrs. Joann Robinson, and Dr. Moses Jones as the original brain trust of this historic Life Changing Movement in America. Pastor Graetz refused to bow to threats and intimidation. Yes, he was the lone White Minister to take a stand for “Justice and Equality” Long Live His Legacy.

A true champion for Justice, thank you sir for the courage to effect change , Rest In Peace !

Dear Jeannie and family
We were sorry to hear about your loss. Bob’s kindness and spiritual presence touched our family and all those he met and helped through the years. Jeannie and Bob were a team to behold. Team Graetz inspired kindness, spirituality, intolerance for cruelty and the courage to act for change.
In 1982, Reverend Graetz married us on a hillside in Ohio at the home of our good friends, the Mapes. Bob and Jeannie provided us a shining example of a path forward as we began building our team together. Thank you from us, our children and our grandchildren. Love to you all.

I thank God that He allowed my life to mesh with the lives of Pastor Robert and Jeanie Graetz. What love Pastor Graetz extended to me...what lessons in love he taught me. May God comfort Jeanie and the entire family in this time of sorrow. RIP Hero and Civil Rights icon.

Bob you were the best neighbor and I am privileged to have grown up knowing you. Your laugh was contagious.

My mother, Jo-Ann Pfeifer Tabor, dated Pastor Graetz, while at Capital University. Our entire family has been studying his wonderful contributions to humankind. He will be missed! We have always felt a tiny connection and I even visited his church in Montgomery and place of residence. He really made a difference! God bless, Tina Tabor Blackburn

Rest in Power, Pastor Graetz! God Bless.

Rev Bob Graetz was a shining light in my life. He was gracious enough to come all the way to Maui twice to inform students at the Charter School about the Montgomery Bus Boycott and who started the Civil Rights Movement. On his return it was to be , with Jeanne, Grand Marshal for MLK Day Celebration where our Mayor presented them with two Proclamations. Mahalo/Thanks Bob Graetz for helping us out.
