We are so sad to hear of Grants passing. We lived next door to him for many years and he and Carmen were dear neighbours. He was always one to lend a hand and offered his energy and time without hesitation. Many a time did we come home from work and our driveway was snowblown or the grass was cut. Our daughter spent countless hours playing with Latisha, Colin, Gavin, and Josie and our family cherishes our memories there, all created along with Grant and Carmen.
All our love,
Jolene, John, and Electra Wilhelm

My condolences to the family, I miss the hockey nights with him yelling at the game and the company with him at the neighbors house.
