William “Paul” Grant
October 26, 1941 – May 17, 2020
Years after being diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia, Paul died peacefully at the age of 78 on May 17 with his wife Helen by his side. He is survived by Helen and their three children Alison (Mark), Meredith (Todd), and Evan. Paul is also survived by his four granddaughters (Alexandra, Elise, Erica, and Katherine), his two siblings Linda (Michael) and Bob (Lynda), and brother-in-law Sandy (Monica). The family wants to thank the staff of Riverside Glen for their compassionate care throughout his time there. Paul lived his life with humility, generosity and greatness of spirit, and he touched many lives with his kindness, joie de vivre, and fantastic sense of humour. Please join us in raising a glass, or “quaffing” a beer, to this special soul. Paul will be missed greatly by all of his friends and family. There will be no formal ceremony.

Death notice for the town of: Guelph, Province: Ontario
I am terribly sad about Paul’s death. I offer my sincere condolences to Helen, Alison, Meredith, and Evan and their families. Paul was a wonderful human being and friend and I have many memories of great times, good food, good wine and friendship. May he rest in peace.
We are sad to-night on hearing about Paul’s death. We will remember him as a kind man with a wry sense of humour and a strong commitment to his family, his friends and his community. Sincere condolences to you, Helen, and to your family.
To Helen and Family – I was so sad to learn of Paul’s passing. As a long-time employee of the law firm, I spent a good many enjoyable years working for and with him – he was always the gentleman and he will be sorely missed by all whose lives he touched. May your memories comfort you at this time.
Our condolences to Helen and family. We knew Paul from cottage life in Southampton and remember him as a vibrant and talented man.
