James Evans wrote a sympathy message

“I remember Mr. Grooms fondly as my guidance counselor at MHS. He put a lot of effort into making sure I went to college and helping me find the funds to do it. I am very sure that he helped many others just like me over the years. I got to know Les a bit after high school and found him to be very likable. I was very sorry to learn of his passing.”
