Maxwell «Scott» Granter
1937-2019
On Friday, June 14, 2019, Maxwell Scott Granter passed away
peacefully with family at his side. Born in Greenspond, NL, he was a
son to James and Caroline Granter and the beloved husband of Margaret
(McCarthy) Granter.
An independent man from «the rock», Scott spent 27
years in the Canadian Armed Forces and, after retiring, took a
position with the Corps of Commissionaires. He was proud of his
service and, when asked, shared his experiences – including,
but not limited to, his time in Alert and his six-month peacekeeping
tour in Cypress. After battling a decade’s worth of health
issues, Scott won the fight in his own way. He will be remembered for
his perseverance and strong will to the end; those who knew him would
have expected nothing else.
Along with his wife Margaret, Scott is survived by his
children Kimberly (Alex) Borthwick, Parksville, BC, James (Sally
Shepard), Burtts Corner, NB, Michael (Robert Doiron), Halifax, NS, and
Tim (Penny), Hanwell, NB; Brother Harvey, St. John’s, NL; sister
Bernice Herrell, Labrador City, NL; grandchildren Gregory (Angela)
Payne, Parksville, BC, Melissa Payne (Cody Koivunen), Ucluelet, BC,
Tyler (Julia) Granter, Truro, NS, and Courtney Granter (Mitchell
Donohue), Halifax, NS; five greatgrandchildren, sister-in-law, Nancy
McCarthy, brother-in-law Hedley Munn, several nieces, nephews, and
extended family members.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his
brothers Marshall and Job and his sisters Marjorie Coward and Beulah
Purchase; parents-in-law Fred and Gladys McCarthy, brothers- and
sisters-in-law Earl «Duke» and Georgina Price, Myrtle and
Percy Palmer, Mary Munn, and Jim McCarthy.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to
Scott’s doctors and nurses for their excellent care –
including, but not limited to, Doctors MacKinnon, Charlebois, Webster,
D. Barry, Christie, and Cameron, as well as Charlene, Debra
(«Debbie»), and their fellow nurses at the Hemodialysis Unit
and the DECH’s Medical Unit (4SE) respectively; to his
friend and driver Jerry Hayward; and, to his niece Nancy Granter for
her kind assistance at this difficult time. Thank you, also, to family
and friends for the many kind expressions of sympathy; your comforting
thoughtfulness is deeply appreciated.
By Scott’s request there will be no visitation or service at
this time. For those who wish, donations in Scott’s memory can be made
to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, Meals on Wheels (Oromocto), or the
charity of the donor’s choice.
