Granville Boyd Vann

Granville was my Grandfather. (He was my mother's father) He was a very kind man who loved everyone. Most people knew him by "Jim" which is the nickname he was given by his Mother-in-Law because she said he "looked like a Jim" to her.

He was born in a small Mining town in Dean, Tennessee.  He owned a printing company in Cincinnati, Ohio called Vann's Printing.  He also worked as a Fireman for Cincinnati Fire Department at the same time as owning the printing company.  At the Firehouse, the guys nicknamed him "Granny" because of his name Granville.  

My Grandfather always had God as his Priority and was the Deacon for Westside Baptist Church in Cincinnati, Ohio for many years.
