Dear Laurie,
I was so sorry to read about Grove's passing. From the few times I had a chance to talk with him I thoroughly enjoyed him. I'm sure this leaves a large hole in your life and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
It was a lovely obituary, so uplifting and enjoyable to read.
All the best,

I'm truly sorry for your loss. Grove was a wonderful man. I had the pleasure of taking him to the Harley museum in Milwaukee a couple of years ago. We had a wonderful time as he told me some great stories of how his father had raced some of the same bikes that were on display. He also spoke of his family often, as he was very proud of them. He will certainly be missed

Our deepest condolences to you and your family. We use to live at the same number address but on Homestead Road. We use to get mail meant for the Roys all the time. We use to see Grove outside in the yard many times. We use to laugh because he worked for Shick and I worked for Duracell/Gillette - he was the competition. He was a very kind man. We are so sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathy. It was years ago that I met Grover through Mark Lascko. What a great guy he was. Last time I saw him was a few years ago when I was home visiting that I saw him at the car show in downtown Torrington. It was fun reminiscing about teh past. He will be missed.

I am so saddened to hear this news. I only knew Grove in the past year or so here at Edgewell from an audit I did of his department - and learned he had cancer. And we talked quite a bit about all of it. He was a beacon of light despite all that he was going through. Always had something - lots of things - to talk about that were positive. We would pass in the hallway and I would get a big smile and a thumbs up. Clearly a man of character. He will be missed. May God bless Grove and all the Roys Family.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Grove. When Jesus Christ was here on Earth he performed all sorts of astounding miracles. Jesus healed some of the sick from whatever illnesses or infirmities they had Matthew 9:35. Jesus also brought back to life some of the people that have fallen asleep in death one of them was his friend Lazarus that had been dead for 4 days John 11:11-44. This foreshadowed what Jesus Christ will do in the very near future right here on a brand new Paradise Earth under his kingdom rule that he taught his followers to pray to come in the Lord's Prayer no more sickness pain or death Life Without End Revelation 21:1-4. Please read about this in your Bible it will give you hope and comfort during this difficult time jw.org.
