I didn’t know Grant super well, but he was always so kind and fun to talk to when I did run into him. Sorry for your families loss.

My sincere condolences to Grant’s wife Janet and his family on the news of Grant’s passing. While I served on Beausejour Town Council, it was always a pleasure running into Grant at the SunGro Centre and spending some time talking with him about whatever was current at the time. He was a kind and gentle man who took an interest in the affairs of the Town and its council members. He will be missed. Rest in peace my friend.

So sorry to hear of your dad’s passing.
I don’t think I’ll ever forget the day Grant was at our place. I had made a pot of coffee and of course it spilled as I was pouring it. Grant looked at me and “set the pot against the cup” so I did that. Did use any sense of it but ok I’ll do it. Grant looked at with sparkling eyes . “ said not like like this . “ and proceeded to take the coffee pot and fill the next cup. That damn thing never lost a drop. I was stunned. As Grant told me .“ if you rest the pot against the top of the cup as you are pouring it will never spill.” Lol my turn next cup my turn to show him I learned my teaching from him.
That’s the Grant I will always remember. A trickster, a huge tease. And a kind and gentle family man.
To his family, I am so sorry for your loss.
Let your memories hold him close to
your hearts, And let his healing love heal you.
Rest In Peace Grant
