Granville (Grant) Howard Price – Aug. 31, 1928-Jan.16, 2010

Granville (Grant) Howard Price passed away peacefully in Dryden on January 16th with his family surrounding him with love at the age of 81 years.
Grant was born in Rabbit Lake, Sask. on August 31, 1928 to Gladys and Hiram Price.  He was a brother to Frank, Delbert, Edith, Ruby, Lloyd, Ken and Hiram.
He married Marjorie Cronley on October 7, 1958 in Red Lake.  They later moved onto Airport Road in Dryden and a family was started, Walter, Garnet, Bernice, Edward and Lawrence.  Grant was employed by the Township of Barclay at the Barclay Waste Site retiring at the age of 62. He took great pride in his work probably keeping the cleanest waste site in Canada.  He received many letters of recognition from the Ministry of Environment to this fact.
Grant’s greatest joys were found in gardening and his grandchildren.  His gardens were simply amazing; he tended to them like his children, with love and care. He could grow anything, from strawberries to pumpkins: when he put his mind to it they grew.  He had many unknown talents from woodworking to playing the fiddle. He loved to ride his 4 wheeler even though it never left the yard, he liked to camp in his motorhome even if it was just in his son’s yard.  He loved watching the Toronto Maple Leafs and even when he said they never win he never gave up on his team.  He loved to listen to his son Edward sing in his band Streamline, taking great pride in son’s talent.
Grant is survived by his beloved wife Marj who never left his side during his illness; his children, Walter Price in Dryden, Garnet Price (Darla) in Holbein, Sask., Bernice Simmons (William) in Thunder Bay, Edward (Michelle) and Lawrence (Crystal Arnold), in Dryden;  his grandchildren, Shane, Sheena, Chad, Bradley, Shawna, Amy, Cassie, Conner and baby Cohen and his great-grandson Zackary Price.  He is also survived by his sister Ruby Rostek and leaves behind many cousins, nephews, nieces and friends.
Grant was predeceased by his parents Gladys and Hiram, his brothers Ken, Lloyd, Frank, Hiram, Delbert and sister Edith.
A funeral service to celebrate the life of Grant Price was held on Wednesday, January 20th at 10:00 a.m. in the Moffat Chapel of Stevens Funeral Homes with Ora Semeniuk officiating. Interment followed in the Dryden Cemetery.
Visitation took place Tuesday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Moffat Chapel of Stevens Funeral Homes.
