Sending deepest sympathy to the family. Mr Grace was always pleasant and asked about my daughter who was his paper girl for several years.

I am so sorry for your loss. I always remember "Dad" Grace whenever I think of High School band. He touched so many lives. His patience, kindness and support was always appreciated. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

My deepest simpathy for your loss. I met Arlan 30 years ago at Jackie Lee's where we both exersized at 5:30 in the morning. We became friends. Sometime later, I was leading a bicycle ride for the Stark County Bicycle Club, and Edmund Grace showed up. I asked if he knew Arlan, and he said he said, "he is my twin brother". Ed and I have been close friends ever since, riding about 50,000 bicycle miles together. I have a collection of a dozen pop out Christmas ornaments which Arlan sent me. I will cherish them always. I will not be at the viewing as my bad knee limits my outfoor activites. Again, my condolences,
David McKinley

I'm so sorry for your loss! Words could never describe what an important role Mr Grace played in our lives during High School band. His leadership, acts of kindness, sincerity, and interest in all of us made such a difference by improving the joy and positive experience we will always reflect on. The footprint he left will forever be remembered. My deepest sympathy to his family...Kimel

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Grace was my favorite "band dad" and always had a special place in my heart. One of my favorite pictures from my high school years is is one with me and Lisa Koski Hunt standing next to him at our senior year band banquet. I also remember him as Santa when my son was young. He was a very special man who touched many lives. He will be missed.

I am very very sorry for your loss. Arlan leaves large vacancy, which time and good memories will eventually fill . I remember him as an upright, honorable man , an outstanding role model for many ..even well beyond his immediate family.
Please accept my deep sympathy....Bill
