San Mateo native, born on Earth Day, William Grant (Bill), died Nov. 10, 2012, from cancer of unknown origin.
Owner of Grant Construction since 1985, Bill was deeply grateful to his clients, especially the Orwins, the Sweeney families, Tina Donahue and the Coreys.
Bill lived his entire life on the Peninsula except for three years spent in the California foothills. Bill was a friendly face on 25th Avenue enjoying a Patio sandwich, dining at Luceti’s with M&M or strolling as a child with his mother and father (Donald and Gene Grant). Bill was also a devoted husband, and a loving father to his son and daughter (Cameron and Iris).
“His family was the highlight of his life. He remembered all birthdays, anniversaries, and to call his wife daily to tell her he loved her. He never missed the opportunity to hug his daughter and couldn’t wait to get home from work to play. He was a mentor to his son, and said often how proud he was of him. His last words were ‘don’t forget me’ …as if we ever could. We think of you every day. We miss you.”
