My thoughts and prayers go out to Dottie and the famliy. I played Basketball with Grady on our Championship team at West Chester High School, Class of 1950. Grady also ran track and was in the chouus and played in the band. I have fond memories of Grady's father as our Sunday School teacher while we were in High School. Dottie and her brothers and sisters also have a special place
in my life and I will continue to keep them in my Prayers. God Bless !!

Grady was a star in West Chester High School class of 1950, Football and Basketball, a real athlete as well as a scholar and friendly classmate. Dottie was a classmate and a lifetime soulmate to Grady. He later was a fine boss of mine in IBM. Warmest wishes and condolences to Dottie and the entire family....Mose

My thoughts and prayers go out to all in the Wann family. So many great memories of our family times at the different places you lived. Uncle Grady always made sure we felt welcome and laughter was always in abundance. Be it the firm handshake or "come on kids, let's go" when we were off somewhere, I will always have wonderful thoughts when I remember him.
