Our sympathy to all of Chuck's family. I (Diane) went to school with Chuck and remember him as a very likeable person and fun. I (Bob) remember the Grimm boys (smiling face) all my life from Grand Mound.

My deepest sympathy and prayers to Chuck’s family.  I grew up in Grand Mound, Iowa with Chuck. He was indeed a mischievous boy and got in his share of trouble.  He was one of the few boys in town that could climb the water tower and get back down without falling. One time he and his brother Steve rescued a kid that had climbed up and threatened to jump. The kid didn’t jump but was too afraid to climb down. Chuck and I went to school from kindergarten through high school graduation. 
I lost touch with Chuck except for reunions. Recently though we reconnected by phone. Chuck called me one night after he lost Betty just to talk and asked me how you move forward after the loss of a husband or wife. We talked many times over the last year and a half reminiscing about our years in GM and assuring each other that life continues to move forward and hearts will heal.  Regretfully I had not spoken to Chuck in the last couple months. I will miss him and remember him fondly. 


I really loved Chuck and Betty and will miss them terribly.  I know they are paling around with my husband, his brother Alan. He's now in God's hands and is at peace. Till we meet again, my friend....... Lynn Grimm, sister-in-law.

I grew up with Chuck. EVERYONE liked him. A life well lived.....

My sympathy for the loss of your Dad; Grandpa; Brother and Friend.  I remember him from High School and yes, he was a stinker but never anything bad!!!!  He just liked to have fun!!!  Cherish your memories and shate his love among you!!

My sincere sympathy to Wendy, Rebecca, Steve, Tim, and family.  So many wonderful times I remember growing up with my cousin Chuck.  One special time when we built a stock car.  We worked for weeks getting it ready, only to be told our welds did not pass when we arrived at the track.  Back to the pole barn 21 miles away.  Two weeks later we returned to the track.  Before we arrived at the track our car trailer broke down just a few miles from the track.  Chuck got in the stock car, backed it off the trailer, and drove it the rest of the way to the track.  We passed inspection, won our heat, and took 2nd in the feature.  No prouder two at the track that evening than Chuck and myself.  I was blessed to have so many wonderful cousins.  May God bless your family and what a blessing to know we will be with Chuck and Betty in heaven one day.

Deepest sympathies to all. Chuck was a cousin to so many of us...Hugs and prayers. 

When I was born, mom and dad was trying to think of a name for me. Chuck said at one point that I looked like a worm, in fact, he nick named Herman from a joke he heard once.  There was this worm named Herman who like to tell stories. One day, Herman came to school and the teacher noticed he had gained some weight. She said Oh my Herman, what have you eaten?  And he said he was hungry so he ate his sister.  The teacher shrugged it off and continued with the lesson.  The next day, again, he gained more weight. This time he said he ate his brother.  This went on each day. Herman became larger and larger and each time, he said he ate a family member. Till one day, he came to school and he was skinny as a worm should be.  The teacher asked, my Herman, you lost a lot of weight, what happen.  He said, and I quote, "I BURPED".  So, for many years, Chuck called me Herman.  May God be pleased and fined he fought a good and hard battle. Rest and enjoy your new place in Heaven.  Your brother Tim.
