Posted: 02/24/2026 Name: tom wilburn Message: A great friend and long-time Ranger supporter has passed away. Former Lumpkin County Commissioner Clarence Grindle has passed away. Through the years Clarence cut hair at Woodys Barber shop, at his home, and at Camp Merrill. For many years he would venture up to Camp to cut Ranger's hair at the end of each cycle before they moved on to Florida. He was a friend to the Military Community, Rangers, and many of us who chose to stay in the area after our military service. His visitation will be Tuesday, Feb 24 from 1800-2000 at Anderson Underwood Funeral Home. The funeral will be Wednesday, Feb 25 at 1400 hours at Cavender Creek Baptist Church. |

Those four got away with more mischievous shenanigans behind the scenes and in the shadows than any group of compadres during their four years at MRC than any group of R.I.’s. They were so wrong about laying the Fire Dept.’s training Dummy in the Litter for the Litter Demonstration Class which was then MAJ Janos who was teaching first thing in the morning to the studs… You should have seen the MAJ’s face when he thought the Ranger Student had come out of the litter and fallen face first to the rocks below… He literally could not talk for about 15 seconds…. Yep McElliott was again leading the way, YOU will be missed my Brother….. Missed by all you touched …. |

Camp. I knew him for many years and it saddens me that he has passed. He will be missed, however good times will always be remembered. RLTW! |
