Grant was a good customer of mine for many years at Harley-Davidson of Ottawa. A big man he might have scared a few people meeting him in his riding gear but he was truly a big teddy bear who was quiet in ways & not in others. He did ride for charities & an awful lot for fun.
I contacted him in hospital last Winter after I heard he was there from a caring friend. Over the course of many months we spoke while he was there & after moving into a couple of different residences. I have my own health issues & our chats did us both good. He could be gruff about things but all in all Grant was a nice man. Ride free Sir! 😎
