Timothy B. Grady

Timothy Bradford Grady
November 10, 1949 – May 22, 2020

Tim Grady, a lifelong resident of the Rochester, NY area and retired pipefitter at Eastman Kodak Company, passed peacefully May 22 with his "bride" of 50 years, Barbara (Snell) by his side.

He adored and was endlessly proud of sons Sean (Victoria) and Kevin (Danielle); daughter Heather (Jeffrey) Zielinski; and ten grandchildren Forrest, Alahna, Devon, Walden, Abigail, Rowan, Sheridan, Hayley, Maeve, and Garrett – who all learned how to fix anything under Grandpa's watchful eye.

He is also survived by his beloved sister Sharon Kincaid, aunts Inez Buck and Elizabeth Fox, and brother-in-law David Snell. He will be dearly missed by cousins, nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, co-workers and friends.

While at E. K. Co. "Grady" was especially proud of mentoring new mechanics through the apprenticeship program; organizing for United Way; and competing on KPAA Softball (Jokers), Basketball (Celtics), and Soccer (Cosmic Comics) teams. He loved coaching youth hockey; renovating houses; photography; watching any live or televised sports; being a gourmet home cook; and listening to classic rock and roll and Broadway musicals. He lived by the motto: We're not here for a long time, just a good time.

Tim was predeceased by his parents Myrtle (Davis) and William Henry Grady; brother-in-law Rick Kincaid (Go Bills!); and sister-in-law Kathleen Brower.

There will be a celebration of Tim's life at a date to be announced following COVID-19 restrictions. In the meantime, please remember him as he was – a devoted patriarch, a fierce friend, and a big, strong man who was never, ever afraid to cry in joy or sadness.
