Funeral service will be conducted at 11 a.m. Saturday, January 22, 2005, at Heck Funeral Home, Milton, with the Rev. Chuck Elkins and the Rev. Mark Finley officiating. Burial will follow in Balls Gap Cemetery. He was born July 26, 1935, in Lincoln County, West Virginia, a son of the late Lee Roy and Pansy Grass. In addition to Marietta, he was a loving father to son, Roy Todd (Carolyn) Grass of Barboursville; daughter, Karrie Beth (Jim) Fankhanel of Springboro, Ohio, and son, Troy Lyle (Misty) Grass of Barboursville; special grandfather to Kyle Thomas, Daniel Colton, Bodie Lyle and Tye Robert Grass; Erin Beth and Emily Brooke Fankhanel. He was a close twin to Larry Dial (Frances) Grass and sisters, Helen Erwin and Opal Burton. Garry was an avid reader and faithful servant to God.
