He loved playing golf with his sons and friends and volunteered as a marshal at Pecan Lakes Golf Course and was a huge fan of the Navasota Rattlers as well as the Houston Astros.

Survivors include his wife of 46 years, Debbie; sons, Paul Michael Grimes and wife Kelley and their son Reid Michael and Brian Thomas Grimes and brothers Glen (Tommy) Grimes and wife Pattie and William (Pat) Grimes and wife Anita, along with a great number of friends.
