Grant Shellenberger Obituary
(Age 65)
Of Seattle, Washington, passed away March 16, 2011.
Born on March 18, 1945 in Colorado Springs, CO., to Curtis and Catherine Shellenberger, he attended high school at Shadle High in Spokane, WA., where he was on the varsity wrestling team.
In 1963, Grant enlisted in the Army Reserve for a six year period. He married Heather Blume of Spokane, WA., upon his return.
He was a valued, multi-skilled employee of Northwest Airlines for over 30 years.
Grant's interests included classic automobiles, music and photography. He was among the first to experiment with and successfully design holographic and laser photography as an art form.
He is survived by two daughters, Gina Saville and Amy Shellenberger, two grandchildren, Garrett and Gavin Saville, and his brother, Gael Shellenberger.
An informal memorial will be held on a later date.

It's been so very many years but I will always remember cousin Grant from our childhood. I'm so sorry we all lost touch. The family is in my thoughts.

Grant...I have so many memories of fun on the job(nite shift/seatac), and in retirement our many, marathon long distance phone calls. (How many batteries did we wear out?) We always had lots to discuss and laugh about...
two wacky, kindred spirits, huh? Life isn't the same without you. I miss you, buddy.

I was blessed and honored to work with Grant at Northwest Airlines. Grant was an excellent representative of the best of Northwest. In addition, he was a fun guy to work with. I want the family to know he was respected and loved. I know your hearts are hurting. But the day will come when you realize that memories of him don't bring tears but lots of smiles. I hope that day comes quickly for you.
