When my brother George inform me late Thursday the passing of Grainger, I was deeply sadden of your lost. I remember Grainger as loving father and grandfather to his grandkids. He and 1st wife Mabel were such great friends that supported my mother, myself and Shannan after my dad’s passing, and later again during my mother’s long illness. You could not ask for a more caring couple that not only raise a great family of their own but found time for others in the community, a real rarity. My thoughts and prayers are with all the Erickson’s at this time.

Our thoughts are with you all at this time. My favorite memory of Grainger is when he used to play Santa Clause at the church & his wife would help hand out the candy bags. He was a devoted family man! May he now rest in peace!

I have only known Grainger for 8 years but in those 8 years I really got to know and love him and Mabel ! They were such a loving and happy couple. Every time when we were together and saying goodbye, he would say "I love You" and I know he did! He was a very loving, caring, sincere, gentle and humorous man.We shared so many fun times in Florida as they only lived 15 minutes away. These short 8 years have given me so many wonderful memories and I am so glad that he became part of my life. It is hard to think that both he and Mabel are now gone. It is sad but they are now together. He was blessed in many ways and it is comforting to know that he had a long and happy life!
Loved those beautiful blue eyes.(.Ron you got 'em too. ). Donna

Dear Erickson family,
Uncle Grainger was a sweet man who loved and appreciated his family dearly. His great sense of humor and his love for things like dancing and bowling brought joy to his life. One of our favourite memories is seeing him go by everyday in his VW throwing out our newspaper. We truly enjoyed our recent visits with him. He had a long and healthy life and we will miss him. Can't help but smile thinking of him. He would like that.
Dance on Grainger! With Love, Bob and Diane
