I always remember Mr. Grady working--in the yard, in the garden, etc. I think he could fix just about anything.  I never remember him sitting still unless he was shelling peas or shucking corn.  He was always so kind to all of us girls in Poole Cove when we would come over to play Barbies, play with the dogs, and putting up with all the giggling and talking we did.  He always made time to talk to us even when he was busy.  He was such a soft spoken man and I loved to hear him play his guitar!!  He had a peaceful presence, which is such a contrast to my dad (for those of you who know my dad, you totally understand what I mean--LOL).  I'm so grateful to have known him.  He has left a legacy of love for his family and he will definitely be missed by all who knew him.  We are praying for all of you as you grieve.  
In Christ,

One of the things I will always remember most is that Mr. Grady was very kind-hearted.  He'd always make me smile while trying to find the best loaves of bread and sweet rolls from the bakery to share with us.  And he made sure we knew when his fruit trees were bearing.  You could tell that givng and sharing was simply his nature.  I am very thankful we had supper with him Sunday before he ended up in the hospital again.  The fact we just shared a meal with him is a reminder of how short and precious life is.  We love you all.
