I was very sad to hear of the passing of Grant today. I visited with him in Aug and he seemed in pretty good health. My condolences Lois, Janet and family. Grant was a great neighbour and a good friend to Orland and Clara, we spent many happy times together, on the farm and later in Lucknow. I always enjoyed visiting him something I looked forward to each summer. He was always in good humour and keen to reminisce. My neighbours on the boundary are disappearing as time moves on, Grant was one of the last ones and one of the best. I will miss him for sure. I will see you next summer when I am home. Dick
