We dedicate today as Kenneth Gran day! Ken was a man who lived on Washington Street in Monson who was impacted by the 6/1/11 tornado. We spent many weeks with volunteers at his home cutting, picking up wood, repairing a front porch, built him a new shed, planted trees and flowers in his yard and became his friend. He always helped us in return making drawings of plans for other projects. He was also known as the "Granite man" and was responsible for obtaining granite from all over for many monuments and colleges built in the Greater Springfield area and beyond. It was our pleasure to work along side him on so many volunteer projects. He passed away yesterday and we are very sad. Our thoughts and prayers today are with his family. Ken, we know your building something grand today in heaven!
