He was a great step father and listener while I was growing up. He was a great comfort to my mother and cared for her deeply.

May he rest in peace.
Mr. Grace was such a nice man. My condolences.
He was a neighbor, we live on Virginia.
Years ago, my son found a black dog he couldn't keep. He gave it to the Graces. We would run into one or both of them walking the dog. They had him many years.

Dick Grace, as an avid Insurance Producer, always had the best interest of his Policyholders foremost throughout his entire career
Further, we are grateful to him for his wartime service as a combat Marine.
We will sorely miss him and may he continue to rest in peace after a lingering illness.
