Oct. 15, 2002 – Gov. Charles W. Turnbull joined the community on Tuesday in extending condolences to family and friends on the death of Kirk Grybowski, "a well-known community activist and longtime resident of the Virgin Islands," a Government House release stated.
The governor said Grybowski, who died on Oct. 8, "will long be remembered for his many years of community involvement, especially in the area of health, and more specifically his work with the territory's Emergency Medical Technicians and his contributions as director of the emergency medical program for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The enthusiasm in which he addressed his work carried over in his community service and his love of helping others, which won him the respect of many throughout the territory."
Turnbull added, "On behalf of the people of the United States Virgin Islands, I extend heartfelt sympathies to his wife, Judith, his family and many friends. May God bless you with peace during this time of bereavement."
