Procession carrying Capt. Grider Home: Past familar places 2014-09-21 - Intersection Campbellsville Street & Merchant Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. As the van carried the earthly remains of Capt. Tony Grider past the funeral home around the Square, it was meeting procession vehicles by then looped around the Square. It would pass City Hall, where the young man had served with almost boyish enthusiasm, embracing every move he saw as progressive, and where, in the immediate preceding months, he had continued to serve a passion of his, better parks or the youth of the community, as a Parks & Recreation board member. It would go past a Breeding Fire Department tanker, in the Municipal Parking Lot parked in his honor. It was passing, Merchant Street, where his "home" fire departments were less than a block away. It would circle the Square, where he had taken part in Downtown Days and an unforgettable campaign gesture, as dressed as a clown and handed out balloons at Treats on the Town, and where he regularly visited, not so much to talk politics, but to talk progress.

Procession carrying Capt. Grider Home: Campbellsville colleagues 2014-09-21 - 200 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. On the right, Larry Walker, a member of an iconic firefighting family waves an American flag greeting members of Capt. Tony Grider's Campbellsville Fire Department, as units pass. Hardly a vehicle passed without occupants betraying overwhelming grief. Perhaps in no other area of life in South Central Kentucky have county lines been erased as they have been between firefighters; the selfless mutual aid between Columbia and Campbellsville is decades old.

Procession carrying Capt. Tony Grider Home: The Moment 2014-09-21 - 200 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Everyone knew, even if the Supporting Heroes van had no markings noting its role that this van was carrying the earthly remains of Capt. Tony Grider home to Columbia. The only sounds to be heard as it passed was weeping, choked back tears, and, overhead, the faint sound of high flying news aircraft. The van made a well deserved victory lap for Capt. Grider around the Historic Square Capt. Grider so deeply loved, to return a few moments later to the spot where Grissom-Martin Funeral Home director Blake Martin is standing, above, at attention. - Ed Waggener SEE: Anthony Lynn (Tony) Grider, Adair Co., KY (1973-2014) Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
