Ltc Avery Wendell Grant RET

My mother was a classmate of Avery Grant at Bronx Science. He was alphabetically after my mom Feinsilver. He was so intelligent, smart and good looking and a nice person to know. My mother is dictating to me since she lost finger flexibility with computer keyboards. She has a picture
that I can send to her family of the two at a reunion. My mom was widowed a few years ago and just had such fond memories of Avery. My email is [email protected] and if anyone wants the picture my mom can send it to them. What a special generation! May the memories of Avery live on in the retelling of how special he was.

I was out of country and just returned and got this message. Mr. Avery Grant was one of the faithful men on earth I have ever met, putting his love to St. Lukes' UMC and the community in Long Branch, NJ. I still remember his passion for uplifting his African-American young men and women for better life through higher education. I miss him a great deal. - Jungrea Chung

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I worked with Avery on a Fort Monmouth project in 1991. A true gentleman and professional. Ten years later after my father died, Avery donated to pancreatic cancer research in my father's memory. I never forgot that kindness.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Condolences to the family

I delivered Mr grants news paper for many years, so sorry to hear of his passing, my condolences to his family.

My sincere condolences to the Family of Mr Grant.
I met Mr Grant in 1986 while working at the Ft Monmouth Officers Club and later became his neighbor when I moved in 1997 to my house at Atlantic Ave. I enjoyed many nice conversation with Mr Grant and his wife. Any time Mr Grant did not see my for a few days he came to check up on me which I really appreciated. When I moved back to Germany in Dec 2020 and I went to say my goodbyes it was sad since I knew we would probably not see each other again
Rest in heavenly peace my dear friend and neighbor

So sorry to hear that Avery has passed. He will be truly missed.
