It is with great sadness we announce the passing of a wonderful gentleman Grant who passed away suddenly at his home on May 21, 2022, at the age of 78. Beloved husband and best friend of Linda. Loving brother of Bill (Shirley), Neva Norman (Bruce), Brenda Votary (Allan) and Bob. Treasured stepfather of Lisa O’Neil (Tim), Christine Ryan (Rob), Colleen Bencze (Jeff). Grampa to Elisha, Brooklyn, Blake, Gracie, and Charlize who he adored, and they loved and respected him dearly. Predeceased by his parents Gordon and Etta Ritchie and first wife Mary-Ellen. Grant will be missed by the Young and Kincaid families as well as many nieces, nephews and his fur babies Panda and Marley.
Grant was exceptional at everything he did. He enjoyed wood turning, carpenter work and masonry. He was an electrician at Dupont for several years. After retirement he maintained houses on Howe Island.
As per Grant’s wishes cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life was held at the Perth Road Hall on Sunday, May 29, 2022. A private family interment will take place at a later date.
