Francis William Groves

I first met Frank when I took his Coops class at UW. Worked with him many times in my work as a cooperative manager. He was a great teacher, which is among the highest compliments anyone can receive. He will be missed.

Frank Groves was always warm and welcoming, whether working in Ag & Applied Econ, at the Lodi Optimists or just around town. We enjoyed his warmth and intellect and his great capacity for sharing his knowledge, history and charity. He will be missed by many. Sincerest sympathies to his family.

If there was a greater friend of the Ice Age Trail Alliance, the Lodi area community and conservation, I'm not sure who it is. A warm and dedicated man with a free spirit and wide vision. Our sympathies are extended to the Groves family. Peace.

Please accept Diane, Vicki and Jamie Smith's condolences. He was a wonderful man. Sincerest sympathies to your family and Shirley.

I was blessed to have known this wonderful man. My heartfelt thoughts to the entire family.
