He developed a love for baseball at an early age. He played high school and college ball as a pitcher. He could throw a good “knuckle ball.”

Grant loved coaching young boys and teaching them the fundamentals of baseball. Since he was an only child, he always wanted one or more friends at the house. Grant was a loyal friend. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, shooting his bow, and playing with his dogs, Charlie and Annie. Grant was known as a good dancer.
