Nevins, Grant
Passed away peacefully in his home on January 23, 2012. Beloved husband of Alice, loving brother of Gayle and Dave (Harvey), Bryne and Betty, Guy and Johanne, and brother-in-law of Antje and Jerry (Veltman), Teresa and Tjisse (Kalverda), and Marilyn (Castelein). Fondly remembered by many nephews and nieces. Predeceased by his parents, Wesley and Ida (nee Arnott), and brother-in-law Abel.
Grant was born in Niagara Falls and later moved to Mississauga where in 1971 he met Alice. They married in 1985, spending a total of 40 years together.
He worked at various occupations including drafting, gas fitter, service station attendant and warehouse/ shipping/receiving manager before he found the job he liked the best, driving delivery truck.
As the conversation at home usually revolved around cars, his passion for cars, especially fast ones, started at a young age. Although he never raced(on a race track), he spent many enjoyable hours watching various types of racing including drag racing, open wheel racing but enjoyed Nascar the best.
Grant’s wonderful sense of humour and kind heart will be greatly missed by family and friends.
