Grietsen went into the baker business with his father, Tjeerd, but business was slow because of the depression. Grietsen was then asked to run the Uxbridge Poor Farm, followed by the Whitinsville Poor Farm then the Milford one. When the Poor farms closed, he owned and ran the Oosterman Nursing Home in Melrose till he died. His son still runs it today.
