Oh Jenny, mixed feelings are drifting round right now. Such achievements Grant has had- a major strand in the weave and colour of the Opunake town and community, he played his part well. So many are indebted to this day because of the skills and knowledge of this affable chemist, whose generosity was so easily given in so many ways. I feel for you and family- my condolences to you all. May you rest in peace Grant. 'Well done, Thou good and faithful servant'. Rest now in peace.
