The kids remember the pancakes and coffee with Grant at the restaurant when they were younger. The Christmas Party at the P with all the family.
He touched so many people in many special ways.
We are thinking of all of you at this time. Our prayers for you are of peace and comfort.
Love to you,
Waldo, Bridgett, Sarah and Taylor

I surely will miss Grant, he was one of my favorite uncle. He was there for us when we needed him. I lived with him alot of years and I named my frist son after him. He was like a second dad when we were growing up. I regret that I did not go see him more than I did. I love you Grant and miss you.

I have had the great pleasure of being a friend of Grant Jr. for 24 years, and came to know Ruth and Grant Sr. over these years as well. I've always known Mr. Wilmot to be an honest, hardworking, kind man who loved his family very much. A good man who was always there for anyone who might need a helping hand. My heart and thoughts go out to the entire Wilmot family, especially my good friend Grant Jr. and Ruth. Love and prayers to you all. Chris Doughman
