Upon discharge from the Navy in December 1945, Robert and Pearl and their new son Larry returned to the Toledo area to begin their life together.

He purchased and operated the Gracewood Grill on Douglas Road for nearly 30 years. Customers there knew they could get a good meal at a fair price served with an interesting story or a practical joke.
