George Grimmett has born in Youngstown, Ohio and grew up with four siblings. At the age of 12 he became interested and very enthusiastic in learning Judo. Eventually, at the age of 20 he was able to train in the Kodokan in Tokyo and earned his Godan (5th Dan Belt) in Judo. He obtained his MBA in Economics at Thunderbird School of Global Management. He was drafted and served in Vietnam as a Green Beret, becoming an SP5 (T), rank E-5, during his tour from March 1968 – May 1969. After his service in Vietnam, he became an entrepreneur forming the Juices & Beverages company, serving as its President. He was known by his friends and family for his generous, kind, and ever-positive spirit. He also had a deep love of travel, spoke several languages, and explored many countries over his lifetime.
He will be missed by many.
George was a true friend to anyone who knew him. Always welcoming and generous with his time and talent. Myself and our family will truly miss his warm, friendly smile and hearty hello. You always thought he was glad to see you no matter where or when with a greeting and hearty handshake. Our sincere condolences to Maureen, his extended family and and his friends throughout the world.
