“Grayson was a critical mentor for me in my career. I worked for the agency that served Pontiac and GMC at motor shows. He engaged me with high expectations....but creative instincts and guidance. I adored him as a business leader and valued the skills he helped me to build. My entire family knows how esteemed my opinion is of his impact on my life. I am crushed to learn of his passing. Even more so that I’m learning of it so late. Until we meet again my friend. Peace to your family.”

“My personal condolences to Grayson's family on his loss to us but a gain for God. I also met Grayson at GMI in Flint and worked with him through our work years at GMC Truck. His low key and professional touch with those he met was an admirable trait to me personally and he made you feel like a Brother. May you Rest in Peace. Ron Martini, Denver CO”

“Grayson and I were room mates at GMI, 40+ year employees of GMC and GM, and long time life time friends. I am truly sorry to hear of his passing. He was a kind and generous individual who valued his faith and family above all other earthly distractions. My sympathy goes out to Carolyn and his family. He was very proud of all of you. I will miss him all the days of my life and hope that we will meet again. Steve Pottenger”

“I went to gmi with grayson and worked with him for many years at gm. However, my most favorite memories of grayson are from so many great times on the golf course! I always admired him as a very good player, but even more so as a very positive and kind person - one of my dearest friends who i felt as though i could confide in about anything at anytime. He will be sorely missed! Bill hill”

“I am sorry to here of Grayson's going to be with his Savior because we will miss him. I worked with Grayson when he worked coordinating the car pool rides for the South Oakland Shelter week at St. Irenaeus. Grayson was always calm and collected, no matter how many times the guests would be late to get in the cars for their rides to the shelter. He used to get unhappy calls from the drivers, who were made to be late for work, but he just absorbed it. Laura Davis”

Please know that many others are helping to share the burden of your loss. Rest in Peace, Grayson and May God Bless. Bill & Ginny Ames”
