I am so sorry to hear that news, It was just the other day that he posted and said he was going on the road again and would touch base when he could! He didn't say what road but he was a Christian from what I gathered from his posts and I am glad he took that road! God bless him and his family! I'll miss his input!

This is to all the people on Graybeard that knew Alan Grant. He loved your forum, and spoke highly of everyone on Graybeard. This is where he would go and talk with the other members when he needed to de..stress, from life. He is gone but not forgotton! I will always remember how he spoke of this forum with great respect and admiration for those of you that 'Chat' here. Thank you for being a friend to my brother and for giving him the peace of mind that this forum gave him.
May God Bless all of you and please keep his father & son in your prayers as they deal with his passing, as so will I.
sincerely,
Debby

Here in the words of his sister Debby is the story of the last few days of Alan's life.

Quote
Dear Bill,
Unfortunately, Alan died in the hospital, he was trying to continue his journey and was in Seattle WA. He was found slumped over on a bench, and a bystander called 911, on Wed late afternoon, after Mother's Day. He was then taken to Harbor View Hospital where he received the best of care, but 2 pulmonary embolisms were too much , even for them. He was up and talking , doing much better and had even discussed coming back home here to Bonifay. I had talked with him 3 times before he passed away, the first he was still groggy, the second time we spoke, he just had praises for the medical staff and was asking about the garden & pets...then he asked about the family...Ha Ha...On the third and final conversation, I asked him did he want to come home to Bonifay, and he said, yes. A few hours later he passed away. I had spoke to the doctor concerning his progress and she had stated he would be sent to a step down unit next (from ICU) and then in about an hour or less she called back and said he was gone. He went fast and did not suffer according to the Doctor at his bedside, when he went home to be with our ancestors. Thanks for posting this if you think it appropriate. Or you can edit as you see fit.....
Thanks again for all your help in getting out the news of Alan's passing.
sincerely,
Debby

Sad to hear for his family's sake, though he is in a far better place. I just met Alan this winter as we did some trading and I had some spare parts for a scale that he needed and I sent them along. Just a super guy to talk and deal with. I will miss "our conversations."
