BIRD, DR. GRANT March 13, 1927 – April 12, 2019 Grant Sutton Bird passed on Friday, April 12, 2019 at the age of 92 at Wyndham Manor in Oakville, Ontario.
Grant was born on March 13, 1927 in Oshawa, Ontario, later pursuing a career as a medical doctor (Radiologist) at the former Wellesley Hospital in Toronto.

He was a terrific and loving Dad to his five children, Diana, Grant (late), Susan (Willmott), David (Lesley Ryan), Ian (late). Grant adored being ‘Grandpa’ to Brian, Shannon, Kelly, Morgan and Lindsey.
