    January 10, 1928 - October 17, 2020

    William Charles Grau Sr. passed peacefully at the age of 92 on Saturday, October 17, 2020. Born in Passaic, New Jersey on January 10, 1928 to Margaret and William G. Grau, he was a proud graduate of Farleigh Dickenson College. He married the love of his life, Elaine Taliaferro on April 1, 1951 before being recalled into the US Navy. He was honorably discharged later that year. He was a dedicated employee of IBM for 30 years when he retired at the age of 59. Married 69 years, Bill and Elaine set an example of what marriage should be. He was the proud father of four: William Jr (Patty), New Smyrna Beach, FL; Jeffrey, Sacramento, CA; Rob (Carolyn), Morrisville, PA; and Suzan (Frank), New Port Richey, FL. He was blessed with 14 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren. Throughout life Bill seldom let grass grow under his feet. He continued to be active after retirement and loved to travel (first class), play golf and spend time with friends and family. Services will be held at Trinity Memorial Gardens Funeral Home , 12609 Memorial Drive, Trinity Florida 34655, with visitation on Thursday October 22 beginning at 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM. Mass of Christian Burial will be Friday morning October 23 at 9:00 AM at the same place. In lieu of flowers the family has requested that donations be made to Timber Green Veterans Group, c/o Clubhouse, 6333 Timber Greens Blvd, New Port Richey, FL 34655
