Grant worked as an on call here at MSU. He was always upbeat, smiling and ready to start the day in Bliss (Breakfast Nook area) every morning.
We had such great talks about the bread business while we were cutting bagels and getting the donuts out before we opened.
My heart is broken to hear of his passing. He will always have a spot in my heart.
