Judy, Jared and Blair and Whanau I was so sorry to read of Grant’s death in the newspaper.I remember him well and certainly have very fond memories of working with you Judy at Bell Block School and teaching both Jared and Blair. My deepest sympathies.💐 Alison Rumball

Thank you for allowing the Livestream of Grants' wonderful service today. It helped when we are so far away. So many elements of the service jogged wonderful memories of your great man. The canoe trip down the Tongaporutu River was a highlight, and a shared memory that will remain strong. Jude, Jared & Blair our friendship spans decades, and we are here to lean on. Such a larger than life person, will leave a larger than life gap in our world, as he will yours. Our thoughts will be with you as you adjust to your new normal. Denise, Pete and Nadine

My deepest Condolences to you Judy Jarrod and Blair. I have some beautiful memories of you Grant from when i was young. My mother your Aunty Eva Aunty Lena were very proud of you and your achievements as a cyclist. We would listen to your races on the radio and us cheering like mad for you. Those were the days... with best wishes from your Sionetama fanau Rest Easy now Grant

Sending love and blessings to the whanau. Thank you Grant for all that you did. Arohanui Herlihy Whanau

Although I've only known Grant a couple of years from when he joined the executive of the LEC, I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. He will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences. Rob.

I've known Grant since High School days but more particularly as a member of the NP Labour Electorate. Grant has been a valuable and faithful member for several years giving instruction in Te Tiriti O Waitangi and enabling people to experience Maori customs through providing hangi meals on several occasions. I send my love to Judy and the family as they farewell this special man. Arohanui Margaret Gaze
