Heres to my great mate Grant, when i heard the news this afternoon i felt sick. He was a true gent who just wanted everyone to hurt the bookmakers and earn money. i spoke to Grant at least 3 times a week and only this week he texed me to say he had got 5 numbers on the lottery was pleased but wished he would have got the 6 numbers so i could tap him for a few quid. To say i am gutted would be an understatment, his Dad passed over and he was hurting bad but supported his Mum and went to Dads grave every week to keep it tidy. My deepest condolances to Grants wife and young family, Joe his eldest son is a good kid and will keep all of them together and support his Mum.
RIP Grant because you will go to heaven. GRANT FIRMIGER ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS. RIP mate. |

Knew Grant a lot of years. Always a top bloke who would go out of his way to help you. Cannot believe he has been taken from us.
Loved his dogs and got great crack out of them especially Up The Junction. Will be very sadly missed. Love and sympathy to Joe, his mum, sister and brothers. |

This in recognition of Grants help in starting the Daily Dogs syndicates Very nice touch, hope he does well for you. gl and i will look out for it in the future and when it runs hopefully it will be a huge success and a few tears will be shed by all, to a man who by the sounds of things was loved by all and deserved that love. |
