His humor, social commentary and reflections on the ‘New’ and ‘Old’ South in his many books and collections of columns will be memorialized by the marker at the Moreland Hometown Heritage Museum in his beloved hometown. The museum is a tribute to Grizzard, hosting memorabilia and personal items of the iconic humorist, who passed away in 1994 at just 47 years old.
