I met John Grisetti thirty-one years ago, shortly after he moved to South Carolina from Florida. I was lucky enough to have his wife, Sally, become my receptionist, and over the last thirty-one years, I have gotten to know both John and Sally very well. Sally, or “The Queen”, as she is referred to at the office, is our Social Security Paralegal, and I can confidently say that she is the best in the country, hands down. This KellyGram, however, is about John, who sadly passed away this past Sunday, July 23rd 2017, after a lengthy battle with cancer. John was born on March 2, 1943 to Rose Grisetti and the late Angelo Grisetti. He was a graduate of Wooster High School in Florida. When John and Sally moved to Lexington, South Carolina, I remember him being an expert in tennis court construction, and he worked for many years in the building and real estate industry. First and foremost, John Grisetti was a family man. He and Sally were very much in love with each other, and were constant companions and best friends for 53 years. He was also very involved with his children and his church.

I always found John to be a man of integrity, great character and an amazing personality. Always cheerful, John loved a good joke, and was a great storyteller! Later in life, John became an avid golfer, and I had the privilege of spending many Sunday afternoons on the golf course with him, which was always a treat. Our times together are now treasured memories for me. John truly made a difference in many peoples’ lives, including mine. He will be missed greatly by many. I know the most important concern for John was to know that his beloved, Sally, would be taken care of in his absence. It is up to the rest of us to do our very best and do just that. I extend heartfelt condolences to Sally and her family, on behalf of myself and the entire Mike Kelly Law Group family.
