William J. Grant, 68, of Macungie, died Dec. 5, 2024 in Lehigh Valley Hospital.  He was the husband of Teri L. (Eichelberger) Grant.  Born in Allentown, he was the son of the late George J. and Sara E. "Sally" (Harned) Grant.

William's life was marked by a remarkable journey of dedication, love, and service to both his family and community. Beginning his career in woodworking and masonry in 1975, William honed his skills and later transitioned to owning and operating his own kitchen and bathroom remodeling business for an impressive 38 years. His work ethic was unmatched, and his passion for craftsmanship was evident in every project he undertook.

Beyond his professional life, William had a deep appreciation for nature and wildlife, often spending his time on the family farm. There, he planted trees and created lasting memories with his grandchildren, passing down lessons of love for the earth and family traditions.

What stood out most about William, however, was his unwavering love for his family. He was the rock, the anchor, and the lifeline that held everyone together. His strength was not just physical but emotional, providing stability and guidance to those he loved. His generosity knew no bounds, and his ability to always find a solution to any problem made him a constant source of support and inspiration.

William's selflessness, dedication, and resourcefulness were unmatched, earning him the admiration of his family, neighbors, and the broader community. His cleverness in solving problems and his constant willingness to help others ensured that his legacy would be one of love, service, and unwavering devotion.

William will be remembered by his wife of 45 years, Teri; daughters, Katie Grant, Elizabeth Grant, and Jill Sanchez; grandchildren, Lilly Hamas, Gabriella Hamas, Abrianna Scolari, Keira Scolari, and Christian Sanchez; brother, Alexander Grant.  He was predeceased by brothers, James H, Jr., George W., Robert B., and Ralf C.
