Bob Grant
1945-2018
GRANT, BOB – Unexpectedly at the Saint John Regional Hospital on
Sunday, September 30th, 2018, Harry Robert “Bob” Grant,
husband of Donna (Churchill) Grant of St. Andrews, NB. Born in
Halifax, NS; he is the son of the late Harry James Askew & Jean
Viola (Fullerton) Grant.
Bob was a passionate man in all he did and to all he loved. He will be
lovingly remembered by his wife 55 years Donna, his daughter Deborah
Grant and her husband Jim Shortell, his son Bruce & his wife Karen
of St. Andrews, NB, 3 grandchildren Kelsey Lynn Grant, Stephanie
Arseneau and Nicholas Arseneau, 1 great granddaughter Malee Savoie,
one brother Dr. David Grant (Ellen) of Kentville, NS, and one sister
Patsy Grant MacLeod of Collingwood, ON, several cousins, nieces and
nephews.
Bob graduated from UNB Fredericton in 1969 to follow a dream of
becoming a mechanical engineer. He went on to work for many years with
Neil & Gunter. Being such a free spirit of life he pursued an
endeavor to build his own company known as H.R. Grant &
Associates.
Bob was a thinker, a fixer, a problem solver, a supporter, a prankster
and a master of so many trades, his hand made clocks will be cherished
by his family for many years to come. Bob made time to always be
helping friends and everyone has a project done by Bob.. He used to
love to fly his remote control planes with his buddy Robert, although
they spent more time fixing then flying. After spending 11 years
refurbishing a 68 Healy, he and Donna spent time showing it off at
different car shows.
Bob was so many things to so many people, he will indeed be missed by
all.
By Bobs’ request cremation will take place followed by a
celebration of his life which will take place at the Heather Curling
Club on Friday, October 5th, 2018 from 2:00 … 5:00 pm. A special
family tribute will be given at 3:00 pm.
