He has pockets of friends in all the places he has lived, including West Jordan where he and Ann lived for two decades. Grant was an active and happy member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, holding callings including bishop, high councilor, stake clerk, ward choir director, teacher, nursery leader and temple ordinance worker. He is known as “Grant-pa” by many of his posterity. He loved music and sang hymns every morning.
