Connie: I am so sorry to hear of Groves passing. I remember our days working together at Black and Decker starting in the 60's. He was a great mentor and friend. He always had a way about him to make me laugh. He was such a wonderful human being. He loved talking about his grand kids. They were such a big part of his life. I used to agitate him about his garden not doing as well as mine, but he knew the truth. His was always better than mine. I have a lot of very good memories of Grove. May he rest in peace and may God bless.

My heart and soul are with Grove's wife and family. He will truly be missed. He was a very kind and wonderful man who would always put a smile on your face. He knew my dad and mom (Bob and Mary Forsythe) very well and our family. He will always be looking down upon his family to keep you all safe, healthy, happy and put a smile on your faces. Love, Lou and my Davey from above.

Connie, Scott and family. Grove (Dad) was a wonderful neighbor and man. So sorry for your loss. Going to miss his daily walks and waves as he went past our house. Always admired his garden. His tomatoes always put ours to shame. Thoughts and prayers to your family.
