As our lives get busier and go in different directions we don't always get to see family as much as we did growing up. And although Grant was older than my brothers and I, we spent time at their house down the road from us on the farm. To Leanne and your family, Roy & Virigina, Wayne & Roseanne, we are deeply sorry for your loss. We are sorry we were not able to attend the Celebration of Life but were thinking of you all at that time. - Posted by: Diana & Andy Larkin (Cousin) on: Feb 14, 2017

When we first met Grant at Delta Beach, our first impressions that he was a joyful, friendly giant. He was definitely one of the four J(s). It's disheartening to see such a large man like Grant to be overcome with insurmountable difficulties. Grant is in a much better place & free of his afflictions. God bless you Grant. - Posted by: Joy & Ron MacKenzie (Friend) on: Jan 21, 2017
