Uncle Grant has been a huge part of my life growing up.  Him and Aunt Lorraine were with my parents for many events and family outings.  My first motorcycle ride, to find myself reminiscing as we were going through Iron Bridge, Bancroft last summer on our own bikes, and not to mention all the times at the cottage and the Iron Bridge Fall Fair.  The memories are too many and time were genuine.
I could get Uncle Grant and Aunt Lorraine a piece of moms baking and when I was getting into trouble for it.  I would say "they have one also!"  The late nights while the adults played cards and we dropped where ever the floor or couch found us.  Weekends at their home or at ours.  The doors were always open.  I remembered to take Uncle Grant his cookies at the IOOF home prior to Christmas and spend time with him any time I could.  Uncle Grant has left this world a better place being part of it!  Chosen Family is the best Family.
Rest in Peace, until we meet again.  Love Dennine and Paul and Freda and the Late Howie  

In my book of Memories I have many happy ones of the Wyatt Family  Both at the cottage or our homes. The one I liked the best was the many weekends we spent playing Rummoli or Euchre .Now he is at rest with the Love of his life Lorraine

I met Grant in June 1998 at Aurora Lodge #148's year-end dinner and was informed about the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. After talking to Grant and some other Lodge members I joined in September 1998. Grant was a wonderful example on being a member of the I.O.O.F. and lead by example.  Mary and I met Lorraine at a Christmas dinner and were taken in by her straight away. Both Lorraine and Grant were the kindest people and so generous to many charities. They were always telling us stories of their lives together, the stories were interesting, funny and never boring. They became close friends of our family, joining us in many celebrations. After Lorraine passed away, Grant visited with us weekly, and over dinner we enjoyed more stories, anecdotes and laughs. Sadly, in Grant's last year he was troubled with Apashia and was not able to communicate anymore. We are so grateful to have known Grant, a wonderful person and we will truly miss him. May God bless him 

I first met Brother Grant Wyatt at the Farmers' Market in Aurora, as he had come over to visit the booth set up by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.  I was a recent member, and he had been a member for 55 years at the time, and now 58 years in total.  He welcomed me, and shared his life history including many exciting stories.  He was thoroughly engaging, and a delightful conversationalist.  His integrity is what stood out to me most of all.  I enjoyed getting to know him over the years.  My condolences to his children, and to all who knew him and cared for him.  We will feel the loss of his physical presence at the Lodge in a profound way.
