George, I hope you are resting in peace after decades of medical service to mankind.  We stayed in touch after meeting in Topeka through your years in Las Vegas.  Thank you for welcoming me into your home when I visited, and for guiding me through several casinos that were full of excitement and interesting people.   The most interesting person was you, a person of great intellect, interest in the world, and human warmth.  You gave the world so much.  Thank you.    

When I started at the VA ,  Dr Grigsby helped me navigate through the complicated system.  I always have appreciated him for that.  Many of his veterans that he took care of still ask about him.  I look forward to seeing him again, when it is my turn to leave this very short life, as we embark on that journey to learn more about this amazing universe that God has created.  

We spent many enjoyable moments, too many to list here. I spent  time with his parents in their home in Holly Springs.  He was one of my closest friends during my stay a Carolina and we looked forward to seeing each other at home comings. I will forever keep those memories in a sacred place.

Upon meeting the Grigsby family, I became friends with Talmadge's mother, Ms. Gladys while working at Ivey's.  She was a very fine lady and insisted that I meet her son.  Upon meeting Talmadge, she was right.  We became the best of friends and remained so throughout his life.  I remember the many birthday dinners that I would prepare for him, my brother Bobby, and Mr. Mims and the wonderful times we had.  I am going to miss the comical birthday cards he would send me every year and the laughs we would have upon calling him.  This lifetime was short, but I look so forward to continuing our great friendship when I see you again in eternity.

Wow, it very difficult for me to believes that he is no longer here in person. He were an outstanding doctor and person. I was born in NC that is one thing we had in common as well as I work with him for many years. His motto were patient first. What a great loss..God Bless.

No one can replace George.   Only inspire to be like him and follow in the footsteps.

Words can’t express  how inspirational you were and it was a pleasure to work with you as well as learn from you.  I just hate that I lost contact with you. I will never forget how much fun it was  having you around. It gives me peace a comfort to know you’re  in better place. 
Much love  Jovon

I have a lot of memories of Talmadge, from Holly Springs to Las Vegas when I would travel there and give him a call.  He was never too busy that when he finish work to call me and let me know he were on his way to pick me up.  Showing me around Vegas, taking me to his high rise apartment, Hoover Dam  and out to eat sitting down talking about so many things. And when he would come home he always made sure to contact me so we could talk before he went back to Vegas.  My heart is saddened by his passing and I will miss him very much.  Keep on smiling cousin. Allen Dennis. 

Rest in peace. I have not seen you since you left home for college. You were five years older and our paths never met. You always asked my sister about me and sent your regards. Talmadge, as we called you, RIP.

My condolences to Mr. GRIGSBY Family. My mother Patricia Golden worked with George she adored him.  She expressed her love by cooking for him often.  She will miss him dearly.  Goodbye for now,  until we meet again. 

Talmadge’s mother, Cousin Gladys and my mother Dolores Norris and Aunts, Ruth Norris Womble and Annie Belle Womble Collier we’re very close friends. Although Talmadge was older than I, we became closer friends during the past 15 years via First Baptist Church and Holly Springs community events.  We chatted on the phone and text each other frequently. He never forgot my birthdays and all holidays we’d converse back and forth to see who would send the coolest Gifs. I had an open invitation to visit him on Karen Ave....but our schedules never coincided!  When I planned to travel out West, he’d be in Holly Springs. LOL. My last text to him in early February was never answered....now I know why!!  Rest In Peace my dear friend, you will be sorely missed!!

Dr. Grigsby welcomed us to Holly Springs years ago.  We always appreciated the importance of the Grigsby family to our town as residents of Grigsby Avenue.  
We send our deepest condolences to the friends and family of Dr. Grigsby.  

Sincerely, Chip and Christine Kelly 

                                          REMEMBRANCE  DOC
I was saddened to hear that George passed away.  Even though it's not easy, words cannot take away the pain of losing a great doctor, co-worker and friend.  Me and Dr. Grigsby worked together many years at the VA hospital and two VA Clinics.  We were homeboys from North Carolina and really big North Carolina Tar Heels fans.  We were bless to see the Tar Heels basketball team win 2 National Championships.  I'll never forget all the times we spent working together, training, classes, potluck, eating lunch, meeting, talking, texting, laughing and just having so much fun.  Doc was special and had some of the best nurses to help him also.  I just wanted to let everyone know, how great Doc was, and how much he will be missed.  His memory will live on forever.

Dr George Talmadge Grigsby was a resident of Holly Springs, NC and a friend to any one he met. He was a very important member of our Fuquay Consolidated Alumni Association. He was a big supporter of our Fuquay Consolidated High High Scholarship Fund.George was the intiator of funding for our Parrish "Ham" Womble Scholarship to be given annually in honor of Parrish "Ham" Womble. When he came home , he enjoyed stopping by and talking about the town of Holly Springs and the progress it has made in the last sixty years. We enjoyed  talking about Fuquay Consolidated High School and  the faculty that provided us with a very  exceptional education.  Condolences to the family.  

Talmadge, as we called him in his hometown of Holly Springs, NC, was such a friendly and outgoing person.  I  grew up with him when he was a young boy and he worked at "The Pack House" a store that his parents owned.  His parents and Talmadge loved their church, First Baptist Church in Holly Springs, NC.  Condolences to the Grigsby family.   You will be missed from our presence but not in our hearts.    RIP my friend.    Jean Burt Mangum

I worked with Dr. Grigsby for many years at the VA clinic. He was a very dedicated professional provider. I loved working with him.  He will be missed at our group get togethers.  Our condolences to his family. 

Dr. Grigsby and I worked together in the VA North Clinic on Owens and also in the VA NE clinic. We often discussed his future retirement plans. When he changed to part-time, I continued to chide him, trying to encourage him to fully retire and enjoy life. He had spent his entire professional life looking after others. I felt it was time for him to look to his own pleasure. He was a conscientious physician and a hard worker. He was always gracious and pleasant -- a real gentleman, a very decent human being.  
When he heard that my father died, he came to the funeral. That was the kind of man he was. He was mild-mannered, quiet, reserved, humble but deep inside a wonderful human being. When I retired I missed seeing his smiling face in the clinic. I will always remember him that way -- a smiling, kind and gentle man. I am so sorry for his loss. I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to the Grigsby family.  

My condolence goes out to Dr Grigsby Family,. 
It was a pleasure working  with Dr. Grigsby at the North Clinic ,  Dr Grigsby always Smiling! Rest in peace Dr Grigsby .

Dr Grigsby was a gem.  He sincerely cared about taking great care of Veterans on his watch.   He had a wonderful warming smile shared in his deep set eyes.  To his family and friends, sincere condolences.

My name is Erica, I was one of Dr. Grigsby's Nurses' and I had the pleasure of spending  a lot of time with him.  Doc had wonderful insight, adored being able to see him laugh. He was a great friend. I will never forget Doc, as his personality pierced my heart. I am so thankful to have enjoyed our time together, just wish I had more time to enjoy him. He had a wonderful spirit and I loved him dearly.  

My condolence to the family,  I worked with Dr. Grisby as Clinic Administrator such wonderful memories .

Dr. Grigsby was an awesome physician! I had the pleasure of being his RN at the VA for several years.  He was loved and respected by his patients, the nursing staff and his physician colleagues.  I also had the pleasure of calling him friend outside of work.  Prior to the pandemic, he, his other nurse, Erica, and I would often meet for dinner, movies, concerts, and etc.  We had great times together and I will cherish those memories forever.    He will be remembered for his kindness and professionalism, as well as his sweet, quiet spirit and southern gentlemen demeanor.  I loved him very much and will never forget our life lessons discussions and everything he taught me in the medical profession.  He will be greatly missed.

To George’s family and his friends

It is hard to loose,
I miss his gentle way and laugh.
He treated those who suffered.
He suffered. 
We are suffering. 
Remember how he smiled?

My prayers and condolences to the family.  Dr. Grigsby was often seen in the Holly Springs Community as he would visit his hometown.  I had the esteem honor of pastoring his late Mother Gladys Grigsby..  He shall be missed.
