ALBANY Former Times Union publisher and Hearst newspaper group division head J. Roger Grier, 87, died Thursday at his home in Plymouth, Wis.
Though Grier had suffered from chronic neuropathy in recent years and spent the past seven months in hospice, the determined cause of death was COVID-19. His wife of 46 years, Barbara, also contracted the illness but has recovered.
A Minnesota native, Grier served in the Army during the Korean War and was a 20-year veteran of the Minnesota National Guard. He attended the University of Minnesota and graduated from Bemidji State University with a degree in business administration.
