I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. I never met Sparky face to face, but I did talk to him on a daily basis regarding Insurance. He seemed like a wonderful and caring person, I have missed talking to him these past few months. You and your family are in my prayers. He will be missed by everyone here at Simco Trucking Company.

My deepest sympathy to the Grady family. Sparky was a competitor through insurance & I had the opportunity to meet him last year as we had an insurance class together, what a delight to be face-to-face with your competitor of many years. I truly enjoyed that pleasure. My thoughts & prayers are with you!

Mr. Mel, Ms. Jean, Susan and the rest of the family of Sparky Grady. Please know that I am thinking about all of you in this time of loss in your family. I had just seen Sparky only a few days before and I will surely miss seeing him around town. Its always hard to lose a loved one but when you lose one that was as great as Sparky, it is extremely difficult. I am sorry that I was not able to come to the funeral and if you need me to help you in any regard, you know where I am. Love to you all. Myra

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to everyone in the Grady Family. One of my memories is from high school. Being a female, it was always great to have a best friend to look out for you. Well, I had five Brothers that always looked out for me. Sparky, Mike Atkins, Len Graham, Charlie Cannington, and William Hightower. I was honored to have Five Brothers like them.
See Ya one day "Sparkles"
Love Ya,
