He served three years in the Army and was brought back to the states with an honorable discharge. He then moved to Minnesota where he received his higher education for machinist at Dunwoody Institute. He worked at FMC in the cities for 29 plus years. In 1964, he married Karen Lisle and they were blessed with three daughters, Lorri, Lelia, and Leann. After marrying they lived in Blaine for three years then they moved to the French Lake/Annandale area and resided there for 43 years. They retired to Arizona and lived there for 23 years. In the early years, Grant would spend his time working on cars, helping his friends with things they needed, working on the Fourth of July floats for Country Junction and riding in the parade. He would also go to JJ’s to help out with bartending and enjoying the music when the Country Junction played. For many years he would help with the annual Bouja event at Swapper’s in South Haven. He also enjoyed spending time with family and friends cutting, splitting and stacking wood; this he did until October of 2022. As a family they would spend many weekends camping and he enjoyed helping out at the Swanson Lake (The Pit) with Donald.
