Peacefully with family by his side on Wednesday, December 28, 2022 at the South Bruce Grey Health Centre, Chesley in his 73rd year. Grant, beloved husband of Mary Patricia (nee Emptage). Loving father of Brent and his wife Margaret of Elmwood, Thane and his wife Faith of Dobbinton, and Kimberly and her husband Larry Miller of Fergus. Proud grandfather of six grandchildren. Dear brother of Shawn and his wife Cathy.

The Clock of Life

The clock of life is wound but once

And no man hath the power

To tell just when that clock may stop at late or early hour

Now is only time we have

Live love and toil with a will

Place no faith in tomorrow 

For the clock may then be still
