I count myself very privileged to have known Michael Grant and indeed all the Grants at Burcott through Gill. They are unfailing welcoming and in particular I loved seeing the the different relationships that Michael had with each of his children - to me this was real family. Michael was always so interested in a multitude of things and could tell so many different anecdotes. He will be greatly missed by many many people.

Here are some of the lovely things that have been said about Michael: ~~~ "A really loving, giving and wonderful man with a life well lived." ~~~ "What an amazing gentleman who has helped raised such special, caring, loving children." ~~~ "Such an honour to have met and known such a man." ~~~ "When I met him for the first time, he stood up and kissed my hand... a true gentleman." ~~~ "Such a beautiful man, I'm honoured to have met him." ~~~ "What an amazing rich life. It’s like he never wasted a single minute of all those years. So many precious memories ... He will always fill us all with inspiration; how to make the most of every minute of our lives. A life worth celebrating indeed. He was my hero." ~~~ "To me, he was a much-respected Father-in-law...... Gentle, Cheeky, Supportive...... I will miss him lots!" ~~~ "He was charming and very witty." ~~~ "A truly exceptional man, with humility and grace in abundance. Always a twinkle in his eye and a wonderful sense of humour, very much missed but so honoured to have known." ~~~ "A true gent who enjoyed life to the full." ~~~ "He was an absolute legend and will be sorely missed." ~~~

Here are just some the words that people have used to describe Michael: loving, caring, kind, considerate, compassionate, selfless, generous, strong, faithful, loyal, funny, charming, cheeky, wonderful, honourable, ethical, curious, interested, supportive, rejoiceful, provider, friendly, wise, giving

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Michael. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
