    I was Mr. Grime's nextdoor neighbor until I was 6 years old. Tim was my best friend at that time. My fondest memory of the Grimes family is them taking us to Tappin Lake to go boating. God Bless the Grimes Family. Joe Mahlie

    Glenn was such a kind man. I remember him well as a leader in the church as I was growing up and appreciated his friendship with my parents as I became an adult. When I gave the obituary during funeral services for my father, I specifically looked to Glenn because I knew he would provide a reassurance and calm even though he never said a word. He just had that gift! Condolences to the Grimes family, you had him for a long time and now he's with Pat once again. Glenn was a special man; I am honored to have known him; forever grateful for his friendship of my parents and his positive impact on me growing up. Dan Ohler, son of Doyle & Nancy

    My deepest sympathy to Glenn's entire Family. I worked as a clerk @ Wheeling Pitt in the 80 inch where Glenn was a roll grinder. What a wonderful person, always telling stories about his Wife & his kids. His Wife was a beautiful person. I met her @ the bank when cashing my check. There certainly should be more men like Glenn Grimes. Our world has lost a great Husband; Father; Family man; roll grinder........but oh Heaven had gained one great soul. May our Lord hold all of you in the palm of his hand during this sad time. Rest in peace Glenn.
