Drayton Grant, the able and unfailingly jolly Rhinebeck attorney, died Wednesday morning after a battle with cancer.
Her law partner John Lyons writes:
“It was an honor and a privilege for me to be Drayton’s friend and partner. Her tremendous capacity to love her fellow man and her community and to work hard for both, along with her rock-solid integrity and character, her easy sense of humor and boundless joie de vivre, her intelligence and indomitable spirit were known by all. These are just a few of the qualities which I loved in her and which, over the course of our almost 20 years as partners and friends, changed me in so many ways for the better. Her positive imprint on those she knew and loved and on her community will be a lasting testament to her spirit and her life.”
