May God bless your family in this time of sorrow.

I knew Grant growling up with my Muller cousins in Whenuakura, boarding a FDMC, and farming in Whenuakura. The best memories were the fun we had having a few beers out and at the Mullar homestead.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

David, Veronica and all of Grants family and friends

At this time I am thinking of happy times, including babysitting the cute as Grant. As a schoolboy he would generously bring his toys out for my little boys while I visited his Mum for sewing guidance.

As a family you will have a rich tapestry of memories also. But Grant did such a great job of weaving lasting impressions around those he played and worked with that his loss will be profound for many.

It is nice to think of him reunited with Suzanne. RIP Grant

I was saddened this morning to see the death notice for Grant David Back.
To all Grant´s family may I express my sincere sympathy. Grant, I remember well from his days in the early 80´s at FDMC, although in the years since I don´t think our paths have crossed too frequently.
Now may the Good Lord welcome Grant home with outstretched arms.
