   Bobby Lee Grimes, Jr., 66, of 311 South Broad Street, Apt. 1, Edenton, NC, died Friday, December 20, 2019, while playing golf with his buddies.

   Surviving are his sister, Marcia Sachs of Atkinson; his brother, Anthony “Andy” Grimes (Denise) of Little Elm, TX; four nieces, Tamra King (Brian), Courtney Grimes, Heather Bland (Shawn), and Kimberly Sanders (Brad); and several great-nieces and great-nephews.

   A gathering for family and friends will be held on Sunday, December 29^th, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Edenton Coffee House, 302 S. Broad Street, where smiles, and jokes, and stories will be shared.
