William Grant Obituary
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of William F. Grant of Depew, who left us on December 16, 2025. A devoted husband for 56 beautiful years to Nancy (nee Palma) Grant, he was a loving father to Robert, Michael (Carrie), and Amy (Keith) Smith. His heart was filled with joy as he embraced his roles as grandfather to Kindra, Allison, Laura, Maxim, Lorelai, and Leah, and as great-grandfather to Eliza and Josephine.
As a brother, William shared a special bond with Albert Grant and was a caring brother-in-law to Patricia, Matthew, and Donald Palma. He was preceded in death by his dear brother, Robert Grant.
A dedicated paramedic for fifty years, William exemplified service and compassion through his work in the ambulance. He was a simple man, yet his life was rich with love, kindness, and a commitment to helping others.
William's legacy will continue to shine through the memories cherished by his family and the countless lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Memorial contributions can be made in William's name to Hospice Foundation- PO Box 590 Buffalo, NY 14240
