Thank you, Patrick.  I couldn't agree more.

 

I was privileged to enjoy Grant's company at a number of conferences over
the years.  One of the fun facts about Grant was that he roasted his own
coffee beans and so supplied me with an excellent cup of coffee from time to
time when we were together.  

 

At my request, back In 2017, Grant came up to coach some of the pianists at
our Summer Music Academy program at the Enchanted Hills Camp.  He was an
inciteful teacher who could get his point across to a student with wit and
good humor.  He led a couple of listening session for our campers making
many historical connections between contemporary pop and R&B music with
American popular song and jazz going back over a century. 

 

He could always make me laugh.  I will miss him too.  May he rest in peace.

 

Bill

Dear Richard,

 

I am SO very sorry for your loss! I only knew Grant from some conversations
at conferences but I know you were close. He was a remarkable man and his
passing is a great loss to the entire music and braille community.
