If you ever had a conversation with Grover, you would know that he had a deep affection for his 66 Chevy 2 that he had in his younger years because you were going to hear all about it. He also was had an affection for his 1972 Monte Carlos and he owned several over the years. Grover cherished moments with his loved ones and having a good time with family and friends. At one point he even owned a Pool Hall/Game room in West Dallas. He could hold a conversation with you about almost anything and would have a funny story to go along with it. He was always positive, kind and caring, if he could help you he would, if he had it you had it, but he didn’t play, he was a real one, he was going to tell you how it is. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
