Grant was a member of the U.S. Coast Guard from 1970-1973 and served in Vietnam in the early 70's. After discharge, he always found work in various areas, but his favorite was the one he retired from as owner of a construction business.

From his daughter Sonya, "Dad was a brilliant, talented and selfless man that always put his family first. He was tough on the outside but extremely kind, sweet and thoughtful to the core."

And from his son Justin, "I will impart many of Dad's lessons on my boys. I have many pleasant, fun-filled memories of the past, near and distant, that I will cherish forever."

Until we meet again Honey …
