In Loving Memory
Johnny Mack Grimes, 68, of Sedalia, passed away Saturday, May 25, 2013, at his home.
He was born February 1, 1945, in the State of California, son of Cecil and Mary Helen Cunningham Grimes. On March 13, 1970, in Sedalia, he married Carole J. Smith, who survives of the home.
Mr. Grimes retired from the Sedalia Democrat after 44 years, where he was the press room foreman. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church Celebration Center. He enjoyed keeping his yard nice and visiting Gulf Shores. He was the proud owner of a 1978 Silver Anniversary Corvette. He loved his cats, Scooter, Maddie and Gabby. John will be remembered as a caring person, always ready to lend a helping hand to his neighbor. He had the ability to do or fix anything.
