Dear Barbara, Stuart & Vivienne and families.
It is with great sadness that we read of your loss of Grant. Even though we haven´t seen you all for a long time, our fondest memories of Grant are of a smiling face, huge personality and not a bad word to say about anyone, also train stories coming out of his ears. A true kiwi bloke and great family man.
Love and friendship always.
Michael and Vicki McCarthy.

Barbara we send you and your family our prayers and blessings during this very sad time of Alan´s passing. As a family we remember the support he gave you so you could lovingly teach our children at St Joseph´s in Paeroa. May you receive strength from the Almighty to carry you through this difficult time.

Thoughts are with you at this sad time. Grant´s personality and smile will be long remembered. RIP. Dave Trubshoe.

We are very sorry for your loss. Grant was a very special man.

Dear Barbara. From across the seas, our thoughts are with you and your family. I know it's been many years since I lived in NZ, but I have so many wonderful memories including the times with you and Grant. My very special memory was my early morning trip in the truck seeing the fabulous views from up high in the cabin and Grant keeping me entertained throughout. Such a lovely gentleman.

To Barbara and family ~ Sorry to hear of Grants passing...such sad news and taken too soon. I will remember him for his quick wit and jolly disposition. He was a highlight of our South Island Rail tour in 1995.

Grant exuded energy and humour in abundance. I feel privileged to have known Grant and he will be missed by so many residents and staff at Te Awa. Such a special person. May you rest in peace Grant.

Grant will always hold such a special place in our lives. Thinking of you and the family.

Barbara I am so so sorry you have lost Grant, what a lovely man. He was so helpful to me when I was at Te Awa and I so appreciated his helpful enthusiasm and happy smile. The perfect village postman!! Love to you and your family.

What a sad loss Barbara. Met you both on your first RES South Island Trip and your after party at Whangamata. Loved how he always called you his Bride. There were many trips after and he did a lot for the Society.

Wish I could be with you Barbara at this time, but I am sure you have wonderful support from all your family, Grant was always a cheerful and happy man. Stay strong Love Maxine
