Never knew him in person but enjoyed his threads and banter and the BOTW forum was a giggle.
RIP Grant and condolences to his family.
As can be seen by this thread, he will be missed by many.

When the time is right you could print off this thread and put it in a card, "From ScoobyNet" - whilst she may not read it now, she will visit it in the future. And it will be there for her children to read how his appearance on ScoobyNet was appreciated by so many, for so long.

I've had the dubious (
) pleasure of knowing Grant the person for years and I know for a fact that he would be chuffed as chuffed could be that this thread with all your kind words is here for him.
you got what you saw/read with Grant, there were no hidden agendas. when he was happy you knew it, when he was annoyed you knew it. he was a grade 1 pervy bgr but he was also a family man who was both very loving and much loved. he leaves behind his partner of over 20 years, a daughter, two sons (the youngest of whom is still at primary school), parents and brother not to mention many shocked, stunned and heartbroken friends and extended family.
he had known for the last few years that he had a ticking bomb inside his head. Monday (his partner's birthday) was the day it decided to go off. it was very quick which I know, from speaking about it with him over the years, is how he wanted it to be.
finally, Grant would haunt both me and Lee if I left her guestimate uncorrected! he turned 40 earlier this year although he would never admit he was that old lol.
when I'm speaking with his partner I will ensure she knows about this thread and the thoughts and memories expressed here. many thanks to you all.

Just re-registered to say I'm genuinely shocked and sad to hear Of Tam's passing. He was a name I always associated with threads worthy of a read, be it as an OP (obviously) or as a contributor where he was invariably funny.
I didn't know Tam and don't know his friends and loved ones, but my heartfelt thoughts are with you all.
... and yes, Tam, I always voted for the fat bird....
