Peter Grant Scholarship


Cards Online


Our dear friend and classmate Peter Grant passed away Thursday, January 29th, 2004. Peter and his wife Marina had been fighting his Melanoma for the past one and a half years. Peter died peacefully in the home that he had just bought with Marina, surrounded by his family and friends. Peter was very happy to have been able to attend the 10-year reunion and see all of you. He was a bright light in our class and will be sorely missed.
