He was predeceased by his wife Jane in 2003. A true gentleman with a bottomless heart, those left to mourn know we are lucky to have our lives touched with his kindness, generosity and a wit that no one will ever forget. Born in Toronto and raised in Vancouver, Dad joined the R.C.A.F., after the war graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1950 and later enjoyed distinguishing careers at the Hudson Bay Company and the University of Manitoba. Dad was very appreciative of all the dedicated, respectful, and caring personnel who have helped him. Dad's spirit and profound good will shall continue to endure through the thoughts and actions of his children and his friends. We will miss him. Ships that pass in the night and speak with other in passing; Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow In lieu of flowers, donations in Grant's memory may be made to the Victoria General Hospital Foundation, 2340 Pembina Hwy., Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2E8.
