Jo and family, You already know how great Grenville was, I can't believe such a great man could be taken so early. It doesn't seem that long ago we were all playing golf winning the Fairhall Cup. Grenville also unselfishly started a split in payments to all working golf committee members, lessening his to help pay for that. You are a good bugger Gren, You are an amazing man RIP you will be missed.
