Later Life
Grange retired from professional football in 1934, earning a living in a variety of jobs including motivational speaker and sports announcer. He announced Chicago Bears games on TV in the 1950s and later was the color commentator for the NBC-TV college football game of the week. Grange married his wife Margaret, nicknamed Muggs, in 1941, and they were together until his death in 1991. She was a flight attendant, and they met on a plane. The couple had no children. He, however, has one surviving daughter – Rosemary Morrissey – born in 1928 from a previous relationship with Helen Flozack.
Grange developed Parkinson's disease in his last year of life and died on January 28, 1991 in Lake Wales, Florida.
