Dear Oga,
Your sudden departure leaves a vacuum in our hearts. Today would have been another birthday of yours but we take solace in the fact that across the bridge, there will be no more sorrow and no more pain.

Mr. Grant,Yesterday was exactly 3 months that you passed to the other side. It seemed so much longer. It is still like a dream. How can such a vibrant person just go, just like that?Life is such a mystery. I just watched the video on this website and the testimonies brought tears to my eyes. It shows what a good person you were. Rest in Perfect Peace RG till we meet on the other side.

It was a rude shock to me to hear of the demise of our immediate past Managing Director, Mr. Robert Grant.
The good legacies he left behind and the exemplary life he led was not hidden to us. He touched and transformed many lives during the short time he lived. Indeed he was blessed with a sincere & kind heart. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

Dear A.Halima, Adam, Noni and Mike,
Your Father was indeed a good, sporty man that worked hard to support the family. I can only say this from the few times i saw him ; be it at the beach, while he drove like a racer on Lagos Lagoon,or even when sings to his favourite song ''shake shake'' in your living room. May his soul rest in peace and i pray you all stay strong.

I will always remember spending great times with the Grant family playing tennis, having a dinner at their house or a day trip to the beach. I am saddened by his departure but hope the future times we spend together we do in memory of him. Standfast and rest in peace.

A GENEROUS, HUMOUROUS AND NON-DISCRIMINATORY MAN
December 28, 2011
Mr. Grant was a “people person”. He was also very humorous and non-discriminatory regardless of one’s colour or rank.
I remember one occasion when i went to sign some documents in his office. His daughter was with him. Despite being a very junior member of staff, he said to me, “Tooth-pick” (his nick-name for me), why are you looking at my daughter?. She’s too small for you oh. Shebi i don give you Lara already (Lara was the cashier at the time). You took her away from me. You know that you have to work very hard, to be able to look after Lara. You know that she dey see plenty money”. He ended by saying “Tooth pick, i dey go chop oh, abi make i no eat?” (His pidgin English for “i want to go and eat, or shoudn’t i?” .
Lara was later transferred to another subsidiary and one day when he came to our department to see my boss, he quipped, “I don send Lara away, because you no look after am” (i’ve sent Lara away because you cant look after her”.
There were other instances where he would see me and say, “Tooth-pick, this your shirt is fine oh. You go give me?”
Last Christmas, i took some documents to his house and when i got there, i was really scared of his dogs and wouldn’t go in to his living room, for fear of being bitten. He laughed and laughed at the expression on my face and reassured me that they were harmless. He cracked some jokes with me and as i was about to leave to go back to the office, he brought out his wallet and gave me some money for transport.
I cannot begin the mention all the other things that Mr. Grant has done. He was a compassionate man and a father to all. I will surely miss him. May God grant him eternal rest and comfort the family he left behind.
