Grigs! A Beauuutiful Life

Bill Grigsby is arguably the most recognizable public figure in Kansas City. He is the quintessential master of ceremonies for innumerable events, color commentator for the Kansas City Chiefs, spokesman for numerous businesses, and nonpareil optimist for us all. He and his wife, Fran, reside in Parkville, Missouri, and have lived in the Kansas City area for more than 50 years, having raised five successful children: Jim, Paul, Ann, Jane and Bill. His pronunciation of "beautiful" has become his homespun trademark over the last couple of decades, whether selling cars or the Chiefs. It is no gimmick, either in practice or pronunciation. "Hey, it's a beauuutiful day, and a beauuutiful life!" he exclaims.Brigsby, Bill is the author of 'Grigs! A Beauuutiful Life', published 2004 under ISBN 9781582617176 and ISBN 1582617171.
