He was born on November 16, 1934 in Mount Lebanon, Tennessee.   A long-time member of Hillcrest United Methodist Church in Nashville, TN, he first attended Mt. Lebanon Methodist Church where the Robinson’s were one of the original founding families.

Grady served in the United States Air Force in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s and was named Airman of the Year in 1960.   He retired from Diesel Sales and Service where he was consistently the top salesperson.

Lebanon, TN.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for donations to Hillcrest United Methodist Church Mens’ Club at 5112 Raywood Lane, Nashville, TN and Mt. Lebanon United Methodist Church of Mt. Lebanon, TN.
