Richard W. Grantham, age 90, formerly of Louisville, OH, went home to be with the Lord on April 25, 2014. A retired manufacturing engineer for Diebold, Canton, OH. Member of Paradise United Church of Christ, Louisville, OH. He served his country in the U.S Naval Service-Coast Guard during WWII. Preceded in death by wife Sara Jo and son Richard W. Survived by loving daughter, Cheryl and family. He looked forward to planting a garden each spring. A garden is such a lovely thing. It makes the gardener want to sing. A song of praise for sun and showers. A song of joy for fruit and flowers. A song that sings of honeybees. Delicious spuds and early peas. The juicy sweetness of a pear. The giant squash marked “Save for fair.” A song that sings of butter beans. And lettuce leaves for wilted greens. A song that always ends in prayer. “Thank you, God, for miracles there.” Following Richard’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A family service will take place at Grandview Cemetery, Johnstown, PA.
