Stephen Grant Obituary

Stephen R. Grant

AGE: 64 • Jupiter, Fla.

Stephen R. Grant, 64, of Jupiter, FL and formerly of Oceanport, NJ died suddenly at home on Friday, Sept. 7, 2012. He leaves behind his beloved wife and best friend, Debbie Driscoll Grant; stepson, Phillip J. Hershkowitz, of whom he was so proud; sister, Penny; brothers, John and David; nephews, Matt, Steve and Eric. He was predeceased by his parents, Col. John Wilson Grant and Betty Grant; and canine partner, 'Harley Girl.'

A graduate of Bordentown Military Institute, he served two tours of duty in Vietnam. He grew up in a military family and proudly served our country as a decorated Sergeant in the Marine Corps. He loved his country and was a true patriot. Semper Fi

He touched countless lives both young and old. Those who knew him will never forget him. He had the ability to shock and awe; was always the life of the party, opinionated and clear on his views. Steve enjoyed talking to anyone and everyone. He left his mark throughout New Jersey and Florida.

You can honor Steve by VOTING and donating to the Renewal Coalition, 88 W Riverside Drive, Jupiter, FL 33469 or www.renewalcoali tion.org.

Steve taught me the ropes and watched after me like a big brother wherever he took me or let me tag along in my younger days growing up at the shore. We worked at New Shrewsbury Ice and Surf Rider and hung out at the Stone Pony watching Springsteen and Sea Bright Bars with Pete Nestock, Barry and Cliff his Alaskin Malamute. I hadn't seen him in a long time but thought about him often. He was a great friend and a great person. He will be missed, sad and sorry to hear he has moved on. Thanks for everything.
