I didn't know Grant very well, but every time I saw him, he made me feel like I was one of his closest friends. His warm hand shake and greeting was all that was necessary. He always wanted to know how I was doing and if there was anything he could help me with. I always felt good being in his presence. I loved Grant Parker. He will be missed.
