2004
Overview
Mr. Grier was born, raised and spent his entire life on Grier Nursery Road, which was named after Grier Nurseries, the business established by his father and an uncle in 1908. After his father's death in 1961, he and his wife established the [John W. Grier]. Grier Nursery on 100 acres on the north side of Deer Creek, across the road from the nursery begun by his father and uncle. There, he continued raising and selling his azaleas, barberries, junipers, spruces, maples, pines, shrubs and other plants until his death. When he could leave his nursery chores for a day or so, Mr. Grier liked to escape to Henry Island in the Susquehanna River, which he reached by motorboat. For 50 years, he shared a small cabin with his family. There, he liked to sail, canoe or ride his sailboard.
