GRANT, Harold Bryce - It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Bryce at the Queensway Carleton Hospital surrounded by his loving family. Beloved husband and best friend of Hannah Maud (nee Cluett). Loving dad of Lawrence Grant (Joan) of Ottawa and Patrice McWilliam (Geoffrey) of Calgary. Cherished grandpa of Christopher McWilliam, Kate Grant and Laura McWilliam. Special brother-in-law of Laura Jackson (Peter). Loving uncle to many nieces and nephews. Bryce was born in Medicine Hat, Alberta and joined the Royal Canadian Navy at the age of 18. He married Hannah in 1951 in Halifax, Nova Scotia and they enjoyed 64 years of happy marriage. Bryce served his country in both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets, including war service in Korea on board the destroyer HMCS Crusader. His final posting was at Defence Headquarters in Ottawa. After 25 years of service in the RCN, he joined the Department of Defence as a civilian, followed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. At the time of his retirement, he had completed 38 years of service to the government and people of Canada. Bryce valued his 43 year membership with the Royal Canadian Legion. After retiring, Bryce and his wife Hannah enjoyed travelling extensively through Canada and the U.S. in their RV. A special thank-you to the staff on Unit C3 at the Queensway Carleton Hospital for their compassion and exceptional care. A private family service will be held at Beechwood Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.
