Obituary
Dexter, Maine - James C. Grant, passed away on September 18, 2026, at Hibbard's Nursing Home in Dover-Foxcroft. Jimmy was born on July 13, 1943, in Dexter, the son of Kenneth and Ruth (Harrington) Grant. His life of 83 years was full of love, friends and family. Jimmy was a devoted husband and father, and is survived by his wife, Velma (Conner) Grant; his son, Ronnie Grant; his daughters, Teresa McIntyre, Rhonda Withee, and Jodie Grant; seven grandkids, and five great-grandkids. Jim worked hard all his life. He drove truck for many years and was a volunteer fireman with the Dexter Fire Department for 30 years. He was always willing to help people and was respected by everyone who knew him. He had a kind neighborly attitude, which extended even to those he didn't know well. His family and friends will miss his sense of humor and fun-loving nature. Jim volunteered around town, including in the town museum, and owned various antique cars through the years. He and Velma, also known as, "The Milkman and Twiggy," enjoyed many years of chatting on the CB radio. Many people were touched by the kindness both of them showed and Jimmy, The Milkman. will be greatly missed. There will be no funeral, however a remembrance will be held in the party field behind his long-time family home at some point in the future. Arrangements are in the care of Lary Funeral Home.
