Age 54
Loving Husband, Brother, Friend..

Olen M. Grimes, Jr., age 54, of Lincoln University, PA, died suddenly Monday October 10, 2016 at his home due to a heart attack. He was the beloved husband of Roxann Carter Grimes, with whom he shared 18 years of marriage.

Born in Bridgeport, CT, he was a son of the late Olen M and the late Ann (Kane) Grimes. Mr. Grimes was a 1980 graduate of Kennett High School. He served our country in the Marine Corps during peacetime.
Olen was the owner of My Polished Salon and Artworks Gallery in Kennett Square. During his years in business, he gained a vast knowledge of local well known artists and their works including Andrew and Jamie Wyeth, Sebastian Upson, Rea Redifer and Richard Bollinger to name just a few. He was a longtime faithful member of the Longwood Rotary Club where he donated his time and treasure to local initiatives each year.

In earlier years, Olen was a member of the Unionville/Chadds Ford JCs, and the Kennett Fire Company. He was once an EMT, and successful car salesman at the former Garnet Ford in Kennett. He once enjoyed logging, was a Disk Jockey, and loved hunting, fishing and reading. Olen loved the town of Kennett Square where he worked and gave selflessly for many years. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him and he will not soon be forgotten.

Survivors include in addition to his wife Roxann, a stepson; four brothers, John, Carl, William and Michael; five sisters, Kathy, Ann, Vergia, Margaret and Vickie and two grandchildren.
