An honor to know and get to learn and live with George Grugett … A public servant and loyal faithful friend. Blessings, Stephen Gambrell
Mr. George was one of my greatest mentors during my Corps career. I learned so much through lengthly discussions with him about MRT history as well as technical/political river issues. His love for the river and the Ms Valley was strong and consistent. I will never forget figuring up and sending him the number of gallons of water that had passed under the MS River bridge at Memphis during the period from his birth date to his 80th birthday. I regret that I don’t now have easy access to the data to figure the gallons passing during his lifetime. Please rest assurred that he made very important marks on the MS Valley, as well as being a true friend and mentor to its residents, the numerous levee and drainage districts and Corps employees such as I. My sincere condolences and prayers for you during this time. Larry Banks 199 Rockcrossing Ln Winnsboro, LA 71295 601 831 1988
George Grugett, thank you for all the mentorship during our time together on the Mississippi. I will forever remember our conversations about life, the river, and your time in World War II. To Michael, Bill and Gregg, thank you for sharing your father – he was a great American who dedicated his life to making our country a better place. He will always have a special place in my heart – Vernie Reichling
