Just talked to dad and he'd planned on taking a trip with him to see the Arkansas Derby this year, they'd gone last year - he grew up in Joplin and my dad grew up in Carthage -
but i guess He broke a hip and that did him in - his cancer situation was improving all of the time. he had a good long life though. |

Bill Grigsby was one of my favorite Chiefs characters. He was an unabashed homer, illogical unflappable optimist, and legendary party animal. Dude has a statue of him holding a martini glass in front of the clubhouse at the National Golf Course. How cool is that?
I can remember in the 1980's when the Chiefs were awful, sitting in the parking lot before December games, Chiefs record in the toilet, 20,000 fans in the stadium, Grigs on the air saying stuff like "22 crisp degrees, winds today out of the northwest at 30 miles per hour, maybe some freezing rain during the contest....BEAUTIFUL day for football!" Grigs truly loved the Chiefs, and he was one of a kind. He's going to be missed. You gotta love the genuine characters in life, and he certainly was one. Here's a picture of Ol' Grigs I took from my seats at Arrowhead a few years back. He's headed down the stairs to the tunnel before the game starts. We asked him for a picture, and he stopped and smiled. This is how I'll remember Grigs. Also: More pics of Grigs from the KC Star website: http://www.kansascity.com/2011/02/26...the-years.html Interiews with Grigs: Joel Nichols from KMBC, very funny stuff: http://www.kmbc.com/video/24350786/detail.html http://www.kmbc.com/video/24350796/detail.html Last edited by gblowfish; 02-27-2011 at 02:15 PM.. |
