Ralph Waggener: Procession elicits similar memories - from 1989 The Tony Grider Procession brought back memories of the writer's best friend's procession from Elizabethtown to Columbia, and he writes, 'Then seeing Orvis walking into the funeral home brought tears to my eyes as it did to all others there. No father or mother should ever have to see their child's funeral!' - Ralph Waggener Related: The Procession Carrying Capt. Tony Grider Home By Ralph Waggener Junior and Donna Feese rode back from our very close friend's, FBI agent Arthur Corbin's, funeral which was held in Elizabethtown, with Glinda and I. I'll never forget the feeling we got seeing the respect for Arthur of people standing by the road on trip home, to Columbia and his final resting place in Haven Hill Cemetery. He was only 43 years old when he died, October 5, 1989. As we left Elizabethtown, the Lincoln Parkway had an American Flag hanging from a ladder truck that was extended high above the road. Police were standing at attention at every road junction, blocking the way for the procession to pass all the way down the road home from E-town, to Hodgenville, Campbellsville and, finally, Columbia. It made the hair on your arms stand up. The respect shown Arthur Corbin has stayed with me, as it has with Junior and both our wives. It was something I never hope to do again, but was really glad for the respect shown my best friend, Arthur Corbin, at the time of his death. The Tony Grider Procession brought back this memory. Then seeing Orvis walking into the funeral home brought tears to my eyes as it did to all others there. No father or mother should ever have to see their child's funeral!
