My sincerest condolences with the passing of Grant. I recall speaking to him one time in particular after a Remembrance Day service. We struck up a conversation about faith. Grant was pleased that the service signalled Christ's sacrifice for humanity. It's comforting to know that Grant knows that reality and is thinking his Lord and Savior right now.
