James, Thomas & Hannah - your dad was a huge asset to Woodlands School, a very handy parent and community member, a dedicated and excellent board chair and a great friend. We always knew when he was on the school grounds as the whistling appeared first. Many times, your classmates would say to you "your dad's here" as soon as they heard it. We send our deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Grant was an important part of the woodlands community while he lived here. If whistling was an Olympic sport he would take a gold medal every time. RIP Grant. Our thoughts are with the Lilley family at this time.
