GRANT, Donald Bigelow, C.A. -
August 22, 1940 – May 28, 2023
It is with broken hearts we announce Don 'Hook' passed away peacefully on Sunday May 28, 2023 with his wife and stepson by his side.
He will be forever cherished and loved by his wife, Jill; stepson, Charlie Woodward (Lauryn Pittana); sister-in-law, Joan Grant; and many cousins.
Previously deceased by his parents, Millard and Mary; brother, Peter; sister-in-law, Sheila; brother, David; and nephew, John Grant.
Missing their uncle are nieces, nephews, their spouses and children of London, Hamilton, Toronto, Atlanta, Chicago, Omaha, San Francisco, Montreal and Mozambique.
Don also leaves behind a family at Simgo Limited that will forever feel his presence. After growing up in London, Ontario and following his years at the University of Western Ontario, Don enjoyed a successful career in sales, eventually earning his designation as a Chartered Accountant at Ernst & Ernst, soon moving into Mergers & Acquisitions.
His greatest achievement would be purchasing a small business in 1976 named Simgo Limited that would soon change the beverage industry in Canada.
The family would like to thank the dedicated staff at The Kensington in Oakville. A special thanks to Dr. Herag Hamboyan, Don's caregiver Beverly, nurses Florence and Ruby as well as all his friends for their kindness, respect and dignity shown in his final weeks. We would also like to thank Robert who helped care for Don following his accident in 2018.
Memorial Service will be held at St. John's United Church, 262 Randall Street, Oakville on Thursday, June 22, 2023 at 11:30 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in Memory of Donald Bigelow Grant.
