The life of Joe Grissom

We are sad to report Joe Grissom passed away earlier this week. He was always involved with PtHA in numerous ways from serving as President to a previous Chief Operating Officer for the association. PtHA will be holding a memorial service for Joe on June 10, 2024 the first day of the 2024 Pinto World Championship at 3 pm in the Exhibit Hall. We would like to put together a collection of memories of Joe in the meantime. If you have any stories or pictures you would like to share with us please share by email to Miranda Hassler at Mhassler@pinto.org. Memorial contributions may be made on Joe’s behalf to Joe Grissom Pinto Youth Scholarship through the Pinto Heritage Foundation. https://www.dayandgenda.com/obituaries/joe-grissom
