Greenville Daily News, 13 Oct 2008

Richard Leonard Grimm, 73, passed away peacefully Sunday morning, Oct. 12, 2008,
at home from cancer, surrounded by his loving family.  Dick was born in Belding
on Nov. 5, 1934, to Leonard and Virginia (Hall) Grimm.

He moved to Casnovia at the age of 7 and attended Kent City schools, graduating
in 1953.  Dick was in the National Guard until he joined the Army in 1955 with
the 10th Military Police Co., becoming an expert rifleman in competition and
sniper training.  On Aug. 14, 1955, he married Connie Grimm in Manton and in
October she joined him in Germany.  After three years in Germany they settled in
Greenville.  Dick retired at the age of 51 from Greenville Tool & Die Co. in
1986 after 31 years.  He was a lifetime member of the Flat River Conservation
Club and a very active worker for almost 50 years and on the board of directors
nearly as many years.  He was a range master, one of the
carrying-a-concealed-weapon (CCW) instructors and organized the pistol league. 
Dick was a trapper in early years and always an avid fisherman and hunter, his
favorite being ice fishing.  He also enjoyed camping with his family and going
on many fishing trips with friends.  He had very special love for his children
and grandchildren.

Dick is survived by his wife of 53 years, Connie; mother-in-law, Irene McDaniel
of Grand Rapids; two sons Dick E. and Veronica, Dan and Lori of Greenville; two
daughters, Denise Grimm of Greenville, Dawn and Rog Geers of Sparta; Jason
Grimm, Jeremy (Cyndi) Grimm, Rebekah Grimm, Danielle (Lance) Wondergem, Amber
(Lance) Nummer, Cory Westbrook, Bradley Ruge; and three-step-grandchildren,
Heath Geers, Josh (Nikki) Burns, Rachel Hufford.  He really enjoyed his 11
great-grandchildren, Tanner, Keygan, Mackenzie, Coltin, Brooklynne, Megyn, Bow
and Jazmyn (twins), CJ, Abby and Paige.  He also is survived by his brother,
Terry (Sandy) Cobb of Alaska, Mich.; brother-in-law, Dennis (Win) McDaniel of
Manton; and two nieces and nephews.  Dick was preceded in death by his father in
1954; his mother in 1971; and 8-year-old son, Dean, in 1978.

Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Wednesday at Hurst Funeral Home, Greenville,
with Rev. Steve Charnley officiating.  Burial will be in Rest Haven Memory
Gardens, Belding.  Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday and 10 a.m.
