Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • Grant and I were friends when we were young, I first met Grant and his mom at the Seven Day food store where Ann was the manager and Grant worked. Grant and I played war games together along with the occasional touch football game. We spent many weekends playing stratomatic football, video games (intellivision!), Andhraarious war games. I last saw Grant shortly before I left Winnipeg in 1988 and am so sorry to hear of his death. He was a good man and a good friend. - Posted by: Robin (friend) on: Feb 01, 2015

  • Wow sad to hear. Grant helped out the Hydrants for a season many years ago in the UTFL when we were stuck without a QB. He was a very intense guy on the field and fairly mellow off of it. I enjoyed running all the short routes and never having to worry about stretching my legs on a fly when Grant was at the controls. I do remember Grant constantly running a no huddle offence with us and yelling B&B at us. To this day I still have no idea what the call on the field was but I guess it didn't matter because somehow he still managed to get us the ball. My condolences to his kids and especially his son who I know played along side of his father the last couple of years. B&B sir. B&B. Darren - Posted by: Darren Bishop (Teammates) on: Aug 17, 2012
