    My condolences, I am saddened to hear of Grover’s passing, I did not know Grover well, we grew up a few miles apart in Leon County, his grandfather and my grandfather were cousins. I knew the family well, I remember his parents and his grandparents. I suppose Grover was named after his great-uncle Grover Cleveland Cox who was known as “Cleve”. Cleve Cox used a crutch from a damaged leg from something, I never knew what.

    I am so sorry to hear of Grovers death. I don’t get out much because I am a cancer patient ( in remission so far) but know that you are in my prayers and thoughts. Sending love to you and all you and Grover’s family members. I will keep you in my prayers.
    God bless you,
