    I had the opportunity to golf with Tom and my father several times when I was a teenager in the 70's. My father worked with Tom for years at M&M bank. I had the pleasure of getting to know a great, humble man who treated everyone with the utmost respect. He made the world a better place, always smiling and laughing. Rest in Peace, Tom, may God Bless your family. May they hold their memories of time together with you close to their hearts. Billy McKean

    Prayers for peace and comfort for the entire family. I'm so very thankful for the impact Mr. Grimm (TL) as my Dad called him had on my life. So many memories... the opportunity to work at the M & M Bank that ultimately provided the experience to start my 35 years plus in financial services working for a major global bank. Being willing to car pool with the next generation after many years car pooling with my Father (Jay Shelton) and special care and attention to help me when my parents passed. A faithful friend to many, Mr. Grimm will always hold a special place in my heart. Sending our love & prayers. Jeff & Beth Wiley
