John Grant ’61 leaves a legacy of doing good deeds—his insistence on doing the right thing, big or small, left such an impression on family and friends that he was deemed “too good for this world.” Jack had the restless mind of an engineer, eager to embark on new adventures and tackle challenges. He earned a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Santa Clara, a master’s degree from Stanford, and an MBA from the University of Michigan. After serving in the Army, Jack held positions at NASA Ames Research Center, Pratt Whitney Aircraft, and Ford Motor Company. He applied his engineering prowess to countless projects, including the “Mars Box,” which reproduced the Martian environment in a closed chamber. Jack died Apr. 2, 2024.
