Frank Grant died August 31, 2013, just shortly after his 81st birthday. He fought a courageous battle with lymphoma and won. Unfortunately, though his spirit was strong, his body was not. Through it all, his spirit was unwavering; he never gave up. The two most important things in Grant's life were his faith and his family. A lifelong Catholic, Frank was a member of St. Patrick Catholic Church for over 48 years. He was in his element when he was in the middle of a Knights of Columbus function, a simple pancake breakfast, or the annual Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner. He was Past Grand Knight of Council 809, and Past Faithful Navigator of Bishop McGrath Assembly, as well as a former District Deputy. Frank served his country proudly in the United States Air Force. Dad was fiercely loyal to all of his children, and never missed an opportunity to brag about them and their accomplishments. His 10 children survive him. His 21 grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter. He also leaves many, many friends, including his dogs. Our family would like to extend a truly heartfelt thank you to Dr. Vaka his oncologist, Dr. Laynor his cardiologist, and Barbara Larrabee his cardiology care manager. We also want to thank Auntie for support, her visits, and for making sure he continued to receive communion every Friday. He will be interned at Calvary Cemetery, where he will join his wife of over 50 years, Mary Ann, and his son Christopher.
