In loving memory of my cousin Grant, who faced pancreatic cancer with courage, grace, and quiet strength, never a complaint . A true class act and perfect gentlemen, wonderful husband, proud father of two beautiful girls, and proud grandpa. Grant never had a bad word to say about anyone and always shared his wonderful sense of humor. We shared a few special family times at the lake, filled with laughter and warmth — just like him. Hugs sweetie, rest now.



Sending our love. Sorry we couldn’t be there on Friday. The DeRuyters.
