It is with sadness, the family announces the death of Morris Leonard Grant, age 79, of Lakeside, NB, husband of Shirley Grant, which occurred on Monday, January 25, 2016, at St. Joseph’s Hospital. He was born on August 10, 1936 in Saint John, NB, a son of the late Leonard and Doris (Tremain) Grant. Morris was employed as an automobile painter at McKnight Motors, Bayview International, as a painter at Saint John Shipyard and later was self employed in Hampton. He took great pride in his work but it was his grandchildren that filled his heart with joy. Morris will be sadly missed by his devoted wife of 55 years Shirley (Crouse) Grant; daughters, Christine (Anthony) Hourihan of Bloomfield, NB, and Dianne (Donnie) Cameron of Titusville, NB; son-in-law Reginald Harrington of Saint John, NB; sisters, Jean Smith of Saint John, NB and Carol Rosart of ON; brother Raymond Grant of ON; grandchildren: Emma, Braeden and Adam Hourihan, and Candace and Donald Cameron; as well as many nieces and nephews. Besides his parents, Morris was predeceased by his daughter Michele Harrington; granddaughter Sarah; brother Robert Grant; and sister Shirley Shaw. Morris’ family would like to thank the staff of the St. Joseph’s Hospital who cared for Morris. He loved to tease everyone and the staff and they loved to joke with him.

The funeral service will take place on Saturday, January 30, 2016 at 2:00pm from Reid’s Funeral Home Chapel, followed by a reception at the Lighthouse River Centre.
