Sitting next to Ed Grimsley at the last DEC, as the Assistant Sgt At Arms, I was struck by, his kindness to those arround him, his sense of humor, his laughter, and his passion for helping others. God has special place for you Marine….
The Visalia Post 18 family add our Condolences and Prayers for the Grimsley family. We pray God’s Grace flow over all who mourn his passing. But we also remember the good times working with him, the things we accomplished during his watch, and look forward to the day when we join him at Post Everlasting, The American Legion. Until then, we Remember.

Very sad to hear about Commander Edward Grimsley’s passing. As his Historian I will always remember him as a warm, friendly and generous leader. Great personality and a well respected legionnaire throughout the state of California. His dedication to serving our veterans will be remembered. My wife Pam and I send our prayers to Annette and family, during this difficult time. God Bless always.
Nothing we can say can change what happened, but Annette know that your Legion Family will be here to support you and your family through all of this. Ed will be dearly missed.
CONDOLENCE TO PAST DEPARTMENT COMMANDER ED GRIMSLEY. MAY HE Rest In Peace . WE ARE PRAYING FOR THE GRIMSLEY FAMILY FOR THIS SAD NEWS. HE IS A GREAT LEADER OF OUR ORGANIZATION, The American Legion.

The members of our Post 679 truly admired Ed Grimsley for the support and leadership he served for the past two years as Dept. of California Commander.
He was a wonderful leader who supported all posts in the State of California and stimulated them to prepare for the future.
We will miss you Commander Edward Grimsley and thank you for the leadership you provided to the American Legion Dept. of California.

This is crazy as the ALA, Dept. of California, also lost Past Dept. President Terry Mikesell on 10/4/2021 due to cancer.

Ed always had a smile and good words. Heaven will need that smile and we will need to remember him.
Annette God be with you and your family. I’m sure Ed is standing tall looking dapper in his blues at the Golden Gates.
