He leaves his grandchildren Erica Carr and fiance Dominic Caralano, Brandon Grinage, Layton and Alicia Grinage, Evan and Lindsay Grinage, Lauren Grinage and Colton Vandyke, Tyler and Emily Meyerink, Hunter Meyerink: his great-grandchildren Caleb Carr, Ethan Carr, Garrin Grinage, Henry Grinage Rylynn Grinage, Addilee Grinage, Mack Meyerink, and Bennett Meyerink. He also leaves his sister and brother-in-law Don and Martha Poll, his brother and sister-in-law Randy and Sharon Grinage, cousins, a special cousin who was like a brother Richard Grinage, nieces, nephews, and a multitude of friends.
