My darling man has left this earth. He passed away peacefully in his sleep at 8pm on December 31, 2012 after a three year battle with bladder cancer in which he fought for every day he could have. Grant will forever be loved and remembered by me and our children Natalie and Brett. I know our families feel the same way. He also leaves behind his father, George, his brother Desmond and his sister Lindsey.
Grant was a brilliant man who was fascinated by science and mathematics and loved to create awesome computer programs. He loved mystery and spy novels, opera, jazz and classical music, but his great love was ballroom dancing, a passion we shared. He will be greatly missed for his sense of humour, his generosity, and his integrity.
Please consider a donation to the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra or the Alberta Health Trust in lieu of flowers.
We will celebrate Grant's life at Leyden's Funeral Home, 17th Ave SW on Tuesday January 8th at 2 pm
