Remembering Bob Grant

Bob Grant, retired Kansas legislator, passed away this week.

I have often talked about the need to remind elected officials that we don't work for them, and that they are elected to work for us. Bob Grant never needed that reminder.

I am grateful for Bob's work as a legislator, because he, like others of his mindset, always tried his best to do whatever he could do for the people who truly needed a caring and responsive government.

To his wonderful wife Lynn and his daughter Megan, I say thank you for sharing Bob's generous spirit with us. He was a friend and a wonderful public servant to persons with disabilities, and to organizations that served the needs of persons with disabilities.
