Alma, Sorry to hear of Grants passing. I have many fond memories of Grant. I enjoyed the many years knowing him while we worked for Labatts. I speak on behalf of all members of the Pensioners Club that when Grant was president that we all admired his dedication and commitment to the Club. May God Bless and comfort you at this difficult time.

Dear Alma and family, please accept my sincere condolences in your sad loss of Grant. It was my good fortunate to get to know Grant at the Cherry Hill morning coffee table, since I was also from London West we always enjoyed reminiscing about London West and the many shared acquaintances we enjoyed. Sincerely, Richard Klojgaard
Dear Sandy and family, Heartfelt sympathy to you at this sad and tender time.
Alma and Family. Grant was a wonderful friend and neighbour. He will be greatly missed by all.
Dear Alma and family, I am truly sorry to hear about Grant. I will surely miss his smile and good sense of humor. I was away all summer and only found out the sad news in a recent phone conversation with a friend of Grant's.
Our deepest sympathy to Alma and family Sarah & Basil Kelly
Alma and family, Marg and I send our deepest sympathy from eastern Ontario. It was my honour to have served with Grant on the Credit Union Board of Directors for many years and also as his vice on the pensioners club executive for 10 years. Marg and I have happy memories of our times together. I will miss his friendship a lot. We are sorry we can not be there to share our memories with you and Grant's many friends.
My dear Alma and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless

Memories
Dear Alma,it saddens me so much to receive this email about the loss of your husband Grant Simpson. As I look into the past when traveling all those miles in our Golden Transports all over the Province of Ontario in all the terrible weather, ice, snow and fog, that mother nature could throw at us, we always arrived home safely. Grant was to me a great Driver and friend. It was the laughs and fun with all the other deceased drivers in the drivers lounge, Rod and Gun, Barbecues and Dances with our Wives. Yes he leaves me with many wonderful memories and no doubt will be missed terribly. Our deepest sympathy to you Alma and your Family and may God Bless You All.
