Hi, Grady Wilson Tyner was my father. He married my mother Anna Reese Spinks just before going off to WWII as a Marine in the Pacific. I was born in Ft. Pierce in 1938. He was a handsome high school football star, and she was a beauty queen. He returned from WWII and they divorced, but I spent summers with him in Ft. Pierce at my grandparents house on Okeechobee Road. He and his brother Ernie of Stuart worked for many years as distributors for the Miami Herald for the Vero Beach, Ft. Pierce, Stuart area, initiating the local sections with the Treasure Coast section. He also coached football, and was a sheriff for St. Lucie County. He remarried and had two sons who I believe still live in Ft. Pierce. We were estranged in 1956. Contact me if you want more information. I would love to hear of any other research you have done on the family.
