Grasz, John L.

Age 86 of Inver Grove Heights.

Passed away on Sept. 9, 2022. Preceded in death by wife, JoAnn; son, John; grandson, Matthew; brother, Eugene. Survived by son, Mike (Cathy); daughter, Tammy LaForte; grandchildren, Kristy Litke (Chad), Michael Harrell, Stephanie Woelfel (Darrick Olsen), Daniel, and Danielle; great-grandchildren, Aiden, Madigan, Cianna, Mikey, Jordan & Jaylen; sister, Beverly (Roger) Knippenberg; also other family & friends. John L. was born to Roy & Violet Grasz in South St. Paul, MN on April 21, 1936.  He proudly served in the U.S. Navy. His passions included spending time at his hunting shack in Grantsburg, WI., golfing in several leagues.  He was a hard worker and retired from work at Ramsey County. Upon retirement John L. took a job mowing the lawns at Arbor Pointe Golf Club (mainly so he didn’t have to pay for his golf).  Anyone who spent any time with John L, knew he loved a good joke and would quickly find out that you’d be lucky to hear the punchline in between his own laughter.

A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held 4-7 PM on Thursday, Sept. 29^th, with a Time of Sharing beginning at 6:30 PM at Roberts Funeral Home, 8108 Barbara Ave., Inver Grove Heights.
