Grant Bakewell

Grant McNeill Bakewell 10/11/1923 - 10/21/2010 The children of Grant McNeill Bakewell give great thanks for the 86 years we shared together with Dad, along with our Mom, Ann Smyth Bakewell. Beloved father, grandfather, uncle, and brother, Grant was the founder of Bakewell and Company (now part of the Menke Group), Pension and Profit Sharing Consultants in San Francisco, with pension clients and businesses throughout California and Nevada. He was son of Thomas Vail Bakewell and Marie Hightower, both of San Francisco, father of Grant Bakewell, Jr. and Amy Bakewell Brandolino, and grandfather ("Bopa") to three grandsons. Dad grew up in San Francisco and graduated from Lowell High School in 1941. He was an Air Force officer and pilot preparing for glider missions over Japan when the war ended. He graduated from U.C. Berkeley with a M.B.A. in 1948. He and mom were long time residents of San Mateo, Palm Desert, and of late, Granite Bay. Dad joined our Mom in eternal rest on October 21, 2010: along with those whom we see no longer, but will dearly love and remember, always. "I was the spark, but she was the flame". Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord: and let perpetual light shine upon them. Services will be held Sat Nov 13 at 1pm at Trinity Episcopal Church, 803 Figueroa St., Folsom, CA. Contributions may be made in his name to: Terry Abad C/o Lowell Alumni Association P.O. Box 32009 San Francisco, CA 94132
