The obituary of Edwin Theodore Grounds, Sr. states that he and wife, Synobia, were the founders of Valley Housekeeping and Janitorial Service and died on cancer at Eden Hospital Medical Center, Castro Valley, California. He was 56.

Born in Los Angeles, he lived in Camano Island, Washington the last couple of years. Prior to that, he lived in the Dublin, California, area. While operating his own business, he concurrently worked for Peters Trucking Lines for 25 years.

He gained national media attention in 1983 when he tracked down his younger brother, Ron Lyon, of Washington after being separated for 48 years. The Grounds moved to Washington in 1986 to retire and live closer to Ron, but he soon went to work for another trucking company. He was diagnosed with cancer in 1987.

He was a CB radio enthusiast and was a charter member of the Valley Professional Talkers CB radio club. He was also a member of Teamsters Local 70. His wife said he liked to fish and bowl and was kind to his children, as well as any stray animal or child that came to their home for help.
