With profound sadness, I must announce that my dear friend and our immediate past commander Edward Grimsley transitioned to Post Everlasting at 5 this morning. Ed has been a great mentor and friend to many of us in the American Legion. I will personally miss Ed’s advice, counsel, friendship, and well-timed sermons to us all. I want to thank Annette and the rest of the Grimsley family for sharing Ed with us.
Please pray for Annette and the Grimsley family in their time of grief. Services for Ed are pending, and we will provide that information as we receive it. In our time of grief, we must support each other and Ed’s family.
Ed, thank you and Bravo Zulu for a job well done for your family and our American Legion. Farewell and following seas, my friend.
