I can only hope to be as positive of an influence on others as Robert was to me and my siblings. He was a kind, supportive and loving Father figure to us all. He was a wonderful Husband to my Mama. I will miss Robert Earl Grady every day for the rest of my life. PEACE and LOVE, from the Eldest, Bill Godley
