William Stanley Grant

August 7, 1946 - March 4, 2022

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of William (Bill) Stanley Grant. Bill passed peacefully surrounded by the love of his family at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre, March 4, 2022, at the age of 75. Cherished and deeply loved husband to Emily Grant (nee: Tsuji) for 44 years. Loved father to Andrea (Daniel) and David. Cherished grandfather to Mara. Brother to Carole (Bob). Pre-deceased by his parents William and Beatrice Grant.

Insurance professional, savvy businessman, and original member of the P.I.G.S. Avid golfer, curler, reader, accomplished home-chef, lover of travel and the finer things in life. Kind-hearted and generous with a cheerful sense of humour. Die-hard Raptors fan, and affectionately known as Meltdown Man (no utensil was safe in the kitchen). An always present and supportive father, no hockey practice or horseback riding lesson was too early. He was always surprising us with thoughtful gifts and special treats.

A memorial service for Bill will take place at MacCoubrey Funeral Home. 30 King Street East, Cobourg, Ontario K9A 1K7, on Sunday, March 13, 2022. Visitation will take place from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM followed by a 12:00 PM service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Peterborough Regional Health Centre ICU or Northumberland Hills Hospital Dialysis Unit.

Mike and Stacy Sanders - March 12, 2022

Stacy and I were heartbroken to hear from Dave that William (Bill) had passed. My mind went immediately to all of the moments we shared together. Some funny, like when I was living at Bill and Emily’s house and I took Bill’s running shoes to UofT (without permission) and then left one of them in the change room, haha. Not my best moment. Bill and Emily always treated me like a second son and I’ll never forget that. I’m saddened that Stacy and Liam didn’t get an opportunity to meet Bill. The deepest of condolences from the Sanders family.

Emily, it's with a very heavy heart that I write this. Barb and I send our thoughts and prayers and love your way. Love...Tony and Barb

Laura Galway - March 8, 2022

I have many fond memories of working with Bill at Atto & Associates as well as with Affirm Business Centre Insurance. He was a wealth of knowledge and I will always remember the time he explained stocks to me over lunch at McAdam Place Restaurant. His general wealth of knowledge will be solely missed. I never saw him angry, never heard him raise his voice. He was a wonderful man and I am grateful that I worked with him and knew him as a family friend.
