When I think of leaders at The Citadel General Grimsley is the Citdelman I think of.

What a privilege I had as Commanding Officer of The Salvation Army in Charleston to work with General Grimsley. As a member of our Advisory Board and leader of the drive to relocate and build new facilities, he led by example and did so much to help us succeed. The Citadel family and all of us have lost a wonderful, caring man.

The CITADEL and our Country have lost a great man. He was instrumental in my attending and staying at the Citadel. He wrote my letter of recomendation and kept me "on track" for 4 years. I will miss him greatly. My sympathy and condolences to his family.
