    I remember Mr. Grimes from hanging out with Janet when we were at BHS. I will always remember how kind he was and buying us Pizza Shack Pizza for get-togethers. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you during this difficult time.

    I didn't really know Mr. and Mrs. Grimes, but I've always kept a memory of how nice and generous they were when I was young and they would allow us over to Janet's house and they would pick up and supply all the pizza. I just always thought that was so nice.

    I have known Frank for quite a few years. He had helped me a few times with my washing machine. We lived on the same street since 1982. I had known him longer than that because he knew my dad. He was a very nice man.
