George Charles Grant, 72, died of cancer Sept. 12 at his home in Severna Park after a three-week illness.
Born Jan. 10, 1932, in Fort William, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, Mr. Grant previously lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, from 1969 to 1972, and lived in Severna Park for the past 32 years.
A graduate of Thunder Bay Collegian High School, he was recruited to play ice hockey at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, but instead he played varsity football for three years. He held an NCAA record for most field goals kicked in a single season in 1959 and for the longest field goal of 67 yards against the University of New Mexico.
He had worked at Great Lakes Paper Co. He was the No. 1 pick in the 1960 National Football League draft by the Chicago Bears, but he chose to play in Vancouver to be close to family. He played professional football for the British Columbia Lions in the Canadian Football League from 1960 to 1962, where he had kick-off and place-kicking duties.
From January 1961 to 1972 he worked in sales for MacMillan-Bloedel Ltd. in its headquarters sales office in Vancouver, and from 1972 to 1996 was the company's branch manager at the Dundalk Marine Terminal and South Locust Point.
Mr. Grant was an avid collector of antique cars, and enjoyed woodworking and sports. He supported his grandchildren at Green Hornets and at horse shows.
Surviving are his wife of 44 years, Durelle Moorberg Grant, formerly of Ogalala, Neb.; three daughters, Bonnie Grant Yeatman of San Diego, Calif., Gabrielle van der Berg-Grant of Utrecht, The Netherlands, and Polly Grant Reiter of Severna Park; and nine grandchildren.
Services will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at St. Martin's-in-the-Field Episcopal Church. Arrangements are by Barranco and Sons Severna Park Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the St. Martin's-in-the-Field Music Fund, St. Martin's-in-the-Field Episcopal Church, 375 Benfield Road, Severna Park, MD 21146.
