I am truly sorry to hear of my friend, Grady's passing. He has been a friend of mine for the past seven years that I have worked with him at Pratt & Whitney. He never failed to take a few minutes to stop & talk whenever he saw me, even though we didn't work in the same department. I will miss seeing him, but I will think of him often. My prayers are with his family. Henry Artrip, P&W Fire & Security.

I am deeply saddened to have heard of Grady's passing. He was one of my favorite customers at Walgreen's Pharmacy ever! I'll truly miss our many conversations we've had over the years (fishing, music, people, work, you name it...) It didn't take but a second the moment you talked to Grady that he was a truly generous man. My condolances to his wife and children (of which were also part of our numerous conversations...he LOVED you all so much)

I'll also miss running into Grady at thrift stores which seemed to always happen!



God Bless-



John Marks (midnight-shift pharmacist at Walgreens in Riviera Beach)

Also, condolences from my two pharmacy technicians at night, Jessica Denig-Rodriguez and Katrina Daley.
