Obituary of Robert Bernard Grant
Robert Bernard Grant, of Beaver Meadow, passed away peacefully on August 17, 2022 in St. Martha’s Regional Hospital with his family by his side. Born in Antigonish he was a son of the late Robert and Martha (Stewart) Grant.
Bob worked the majority of his career with Nova Construction where he was a dedicated heavy equipment operator and float truck driver, taking pride in and enjoying his work, while making many friends along the way. Family meant a lot to him and he enjoyed having family and friends around. He was a quiet man but enjoyed playing tricks and pranks on people close to him. He liked exploring new places, whether it be a long trip or a day trip. Bobby was an avid sports fan, especially cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Maple Leafs, as well as Nascar racing.
He is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Mary Janet (MacDonald); sister Brenda (Bill) MacPherson; brother Stewart (Eileen); Brother-in-law Jim Black; sister-in-law Lorraine MacNeil; brother-in-law Dominic Landry; nieces and nephews Stewart, Beth (Robert) Doiron, Catherine, Martha (Mitchell Kearney) MacPherson; Heather (Tyler) Butler, Andrew (Caitlin) Grant; Dave, Jim, Martha (Narcis Tesa), Monica Black; Ian (Tiffany), Claire (Ashley) MacHattie, Alicia (Vance MacIsaac) MacNeil; Kimberly (Eric) MacLean, Melinda (Allan) MacDonald, Stephen (Melissa) Joshua (Mary Catherine) Landry.
