Procession carrying Capt. Grider Home: Past familar places 2014-09-21 - Intersection Campbellsville Street & Merchant Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. As the van carried the earthly remains of Capt. Tony Grider past the funeral home around the Square, it was meeting procession vehicles by then looped around the Square. It would pass City Hall, where the young man had served with almost boyish enthusiasm, embracing every move he saw as progressive, and where, in the immediate preceding months, he had continued to serve a passion of his, better parks or the youth of the community, as a Parks & Recreation board member. It would go past a Breeding Fire Department tanker, in the Municipal Parking Lot parked in his honor. It was passing, Merchant Street, where his "home" fire departments were less than a block away. It would circle the Square, where he had taken part in Downtown Days and an unforgettable campaign gesture, as dressed as a clown and handed out balloons at Treats on the Town, and where he regularly visited, not so much to talk politics, but to talk progress.
