This is so sad... Christine's sister Deborah Lynn Mulle sent this sweet note... 

Christine loved her family and loved being a grandmother. She loved the Lord. She loved doing all her art projects. Christine was happy at her home in Simi Valley especially because she lived close to her grandchildren. Her passing was too soon and we will all miss her. Think of her everyday and know she’s at peace and living in paradise with Heavenly Father. 

Please keep Deborah and all the family in your prayers.

This is totally heartbreaking... Jim, you will be greatly missed by so many and we send our deepest condolences to the Grasse family. Jim was one of a kind who ALWAYS was willing to help anyone in need and if he couldn't, he would find someone who could! You'll always be in our hearts, Jim... 

A post with photos from Facebook yesterday

Today, at 1:23 pm, our Dad, Jim Grasse, passed away peacefully after a battle with an aggressive form of dementia. I was with my Dad until the end, and I can tell you he is at peace now and pain-free.

He was the most amazing father a kid could have ever asked for. He was the most amazing human being, with the spirit of a giant. Always smiling, always willing to help someone, and always wanting to get to the next adventure. I will always remember everything he ever taught me.

We are all going to miss that amazing smile and that incredible personality that lit up any room.

Details regarding his funeral will be posted at a later date.

Please feel free to share in the comments your best memory of our Dad.

- The Grasse Family

 

 

Jim was the son the William and Gabrieli Grasse, His older sister Bonnie Grasse Reinhold, BHS '65 passed away in 2007. Jim has two younger brothers, Larry and Ron.

I’m in shock. He and I returned to Vietnam and visited the places where we had served. We went to where Bill Bric had died, and then went to the spot where Bill Campbell lost his life. Then we went to Laos and then to Hanoi where we interviewed the colonel that Ho Chi Min assigned the task of would later be known as the Ho Chi Minh Trail. I’m already missing you, Pete.

On this Veterans Day, I’m so sad to report that we lost my amazing dad @eddies.almanac one week ago, November 3rd, 2023 to pancreatic cancer. I can barely type this without bursting into tears, this time of year has been hard for me my entire adult life but this is the ultimate gut punch. He was a Veteran, retired LAPD, Indiana Jones Enthusiast, Saints Fanatic, Model-T Expert, Avocado Extraordinaire, Nickname Aficionado, Grill Master, Pirate. Certified Baby and Puppy Whisperer, He could fix literally anything, Knew all the words to every song by the Doors, Can quote episodes of California Gold, Loved red meat and red potato salad. Dad, you were so stubborn, funny, smart, handsome, kind, giving, strong, talented, selfless and wise. But your best quality is how much you cared about, sacrifice for, and loved your family and your country. Thank you for making @ragtymestation a mom, for giving me great siblings and a great work ethic. Thanks for teaching me how to throw a football and change a tire. Thanks for giving me the nickname “Lumpy”, the shoulders of a line backer, and the hands of a power forward. Thanks for teaching me to stick to what I believe in and to never let other people’s opinions sway my own. You’re like, a really great father. I love you, Ed Largey, time to “break on through to the other side”.

Sidebar: I am very grateful and thankful for my family, friends, all of my clients, and colleagues who helped me get him into the right doctors and take the time off to spend his last days with him.
