  Bryant, Engie, Leslie, Jim and families. May you hold dear in your hearts your treasured memories. I have some wonderful memories of time spent with "Gus." As an accomplished western equestrian and horseman he was an amazing mentor to me in equine behaviour and horsemanship. It seems like it was just yesterday that we ventured out on some awesome horse pack trips in the mountains of the Ashnola River near Cathedral Lakes National Park with Earl, Wilson and Jerry. More recently on my return to Penticton I enjoyed some wonderful visits sharing memories with Laurie. A life well lived. - Bruce Kay

  Leslie, Jim, Bryant, Engie and families. My sincerest and deepest condolences on the passing of my good friend and best man at my 1968 wedding, Laurie "Gus" Grove. He was a wonderful person and a lifelong friend. I have many memories including our good times living together from September 1967 to April 1968 on Walnut Street in Vancouver. Rest in Peace (RIP) Laurie. Cheers. - Wally Malkinson
