The name Grieser immediately makes you think of Grieser Interiors, the business his father started and he and his brother Gary continued. He also served on the Archbold Village Council for many years.
John was a very active man of many abilities. Fatherhood was one of his finest. It didn’t matter what his girls needed he was always a phone call away, no questions asked. Whether it was bringing over pizza and doughnuts for his grandchildren or helping with a household project, John was always there.
He loved having projects to do; he wasn’t one to sit still for too long. John had a gentle resilience that inspired all who met him. He had a way of making anyone feel at ease and right at home. He was a kind and gentle man. John was an avid bowler, with several 700 series. Well liked by everyone; the lanes will never be the same.
