We just found out that Grant passed away.We are good friends of Gail and David s. May Grant rest in peace .
We worked with Grant at the Ontario Hospital. When he was on night shift the ward was treated to his wonderful voice as he went through the morning routine. Hard to be anything but happy to be at work when you heard him sing. Our condolences and thoughts to all his family members.
I knew Grant only through Harbouraires where I was greatful to sit beside him and have a rock solid pitch to hang onto. He did a lot for the Harbs handling the wardrobe in addition to his beautiful singing.
My condolences to the family in his passing.
What a talented and genial guy Grant was! A faithful member of the Goderich Harbouraires Male Chorus for many a year, he could always be counted on to deliver his best, whether as a soloist or foot soldier. He showed particular musical talent in our rendition of “Those Were The Days”. The current director joins all members past and present in sending heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
Our condolences to Grant’s family.

Please except our sincere condolences in the loss of your father. I got to know Grant when he sang and entertained at Goderich Place a few years ago. The residents just loved him coming and you could tell how much he enjoyed it. He will be reunited with Doris and the music will be playing. You now have another guardian angel to lead you through life. Take care and Hugs to all.
