It was with sadness we read of Grant’s passing. It took us back to the time when we lived in Dungannon and to the tales of the local community. Although it is many year’s since the Pentland’s were part of our extended family, we offer our condolences to the immediate family, to Wilf (and Marjorie)as the last of the siblings, and niece, Norma, my brother Tony’s former wife.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth and Adriaan Van Dongen
