He was my mentor as a commissioner and I absolutely respected him as being a true friend to me.
He will be missed.
God bless his family.
Mr. Grady was one of the finest gentlemen we were fortunate enough to meet when we moved to Lincoln County.
He and Miss Lorene were wonderful friends and would do anything in the world to help a fellow human being.
It was easy to see from the start that they are Christians that devoted themselves by their kindness to others.
Grady will be missed by his friends and loved-ones, and by the people
he served under as an outstanding government official.
May he always be remembered as we remember him in our hearts.
You are in the promised land, Mr. Grady,
and you are welcomed by those who have gone before you, and Christ our Lord.
