They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.
Vale Grant. A good man and a good sailor for his country. Remembered fondly by your former brother-in-law David.

My sincere condolences to Robyn, family & other friends. Smooth seas & trailing wind Bill. RIP
Navy from 1974 until 1998. My first encounter with Bill, was in the Hotel Intake at HMAS CERBERUS in September 1974. During the three months, POQMG Facey fully straightened out a sky bush kid and prepared me for my future Navy Career. Thanks Bill, for your wisdom and advice, fair winds and following sea. Rest Easy.
