Dear Julie, Samuel and Isaac, Sending you love during the loss of your dear husband and Dad. Grant was always a generous, kind and thoughtful friend and such a lover of good music - what a combination! He will be missed xx Juliet
Julie and Family, What a lovely remembrance to Grant on Saturday, a great man I enjoyed our conversations and how focused he was in giving all to beat this off. He always said he would and we used to laugh at what he had said to the Drs. I followed his cooking and walking with admiration. A true kiwi male who loved his family and friends, he will be missed, but remembered forever. RIP my friend. Bruce
