I am only now learning of Grant's passing and although we lost touch years ago, I am still very saddened. Grant and I dated for a while when in our teens, I was 16 and he was 17 and attended Lakefield College School, my high school was a block from where Vera & Grant lived in Peterborough. Grant always loved cars and had a Jeep when I first met him, later he had a copper and black Plymouth Roadrunner  followed by a Jag. Not many teens drove a Jag in those days but he was thrilled with it. I have fond memories of those days.  Rest in peace Grant - may those who loved and respected you always keep your memory in high regard.


I am devastated to learn of the sudden death of this great man.  Only 5 years ago I was a student of his at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia and he lectured me in several subjects over an 18 month period. I got to know him well and he actively encouraged and mentored me. After graduation I came to regard him as a friend and his wit, generosity and wisdom, and his vast knowledge  were a tough act to follow. A giant among men who will be sorely missed.  

It is with deep sadness that I recently learned of Grant's passing.  We were close during our years in graduate school at the University of Waterloo and he was a very good friend.  When I moved to the US (Georgia) in 1977, he began working with Ontario Hydro in Mississauga and we remained in touch for many years.  He had a great passion for Jaguar automobiles and I searched for a long time to find a very good quality Series III V12 roadster that I purchased for him that he subsequently restored to a near perfect automobile.  My life was enriched because of his friendship in our early years and I will remember him fondly.  George Howroyd (Atlanta, Georgia)
