He was just a top top bloke. Kind, funny and loved by all. And I felt privileged to call him a friend. - Pete

Grant was one of the first friends I made when I first moved to Reigate in 2003. He cared genuinely for others, he always had kind words, practical and insightful advice, and a bear hug for his friends. His love of music, beer and football, coupled with a fun-loving, naughty streak, made him everyone’s favourite social companion. - Jason

Grant was the welcoming face that inducted me into the world of Roundtable back in 2012, setting the tone for the fun-filled years that were to come. His spirit was infectious, and he was a joy to be around, whether we were donning Santa suits, embarking on infamous caravan-towing journeys, or heading to a Euro weekend. In Redhill & Reigate Roundtable and the people that knew him, Grant’s legacy and spirit will live on. RIP brother. - Ben

Grant also inducted me to Table. His positive attitude inspired me to make the most of my time in Table. He was a warm and caring person, and a good listener, and I always enjoyed being in his company. We became friends and I have many happy memories of him. RIP GT. - Dan

Grant made you laugh. Even after the crappiest day, he lifted your spirits. He brought joy to everyone who met him. I still chuckle about the one man invisible suitcase skit he did at the Finland Euro meeting. He arrived at Gatwick with the wrong passport and then went on a mission to go back to Reading, book a new flight and make it to Finland. He arrived late in the evening but to rapturous applause from the entire room. Because everyone knew the weekend would have been poorer without him. And so his skit proved. That day summed him up. Going to great lengths to be with his friends and lighting up the room when he got there. RIP mate. - James

Compared to many/most on this group, I realise I barely “knew” Grant but on the many occasions we met, no matter how long since the last meeting nor whatever was happening in his world, his greeting was always with the warmest of smiles and handshakes but swiftly follwed by a huge bear hug! We were often among the last to leave the Reigate Manor Hotel after Table meetings and events, putting the world to rights after quite a “skinful” ! As I saw Grant, he was simply everyones’ friend and the glue between many of us. His positive outlook was infectious and I will miss our occasional meetings. RIP Grant. - Simon

I met Grant in Round Table and he was one of the reasons I stayed in Round Table. He was fun to be around, always a positive influence and always the first to say 'will it pass the door step challenge?'... he was quick to volunteer for the first Big Dig and was a great help to me on the day and in the preparation... he devoted a lot of time to Round Table and encouraged many to people to join and keep it going. A powerful energy, lost to us much too soon. RIP Grant. - David

Grant badgered me for a few years to join the RoundTable. We would meet occasionally at The Panther (as was) and he would keep suggesting it. He was such an infectious and fun man, and we shared quite a few interests. I joined up because I wanted to spend more time with my friend, and if said it was a great idea to join, then I trusted him. And how right he was. We ALL constantly had fun together and experienced great friendships. He was a larger than life character, and is dearly missed. I wish we’d known of the troubles that he was having as there are many of us who would have listened to him, and handed back a few of those hugs that he so freely gave out to others. RIP GT. - Paul
