Obituary for Owen Franklin Grant
Owen Franklin Grant was born on March 26th, 1943 in Williamstown, Massachusetts to Francis V. and Arlene (nee Stevens) Grant , and passed away November 13, 2021 in Bennington Vt. He grew up on White Oaks Road. He attended Broad Brook School and graduated from Williamstown High in 1961. He then attended Paul Smith’s College.
Owen was known far and wide for his fast thinking ingenuity--if nobody else would go near it, Owen would not only take it on-but have it back up in running in no time-with whatever he had out behind the shed. He was the proverbial jack of all trades,working in barn restoration, to building new houses and masonry work.
He married the former Deborah Dunn in 1968. He and Debbie moved to Pownal in 1992. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his older sister Jane Lenahan and his younger brother Richard Grant. He is survived by his wife, and children, Kathleene MacAlpine and her husband Bill, of Rye Beach, NH, Scott Grant and his wife Jean of Williamstown, and Nicole Wilson and her husband, Jeremy of Bennington and Pownal, and his six grandchildren; Michelle Grant, Daniel Grant, Bradley Grant, Elle MacAlpine, Holly MacAlpine, Jesse Hartman, and Jason Wilson, three great grandchildren, sister in laws, Carolynn Porter of Vermont, and Joanne Dunn of Iowa, and several nieces, nephews.
