Born in Renfrew, Ontario, Grant Lavallee wrestled his way to national championships, coached two thousand wrestlers across five decades, had dinner with a king, attended a garden party hosted by a queen, and built something in his community that outlasted it all. He is a Renfrew man. Born at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital, raised on Thompson Hill, rooted in the valley his family has called home for generations. He has not changed the world in ways that make the evening news, but he has changed Renfrew, and he has changed wrestling in Canada. This is his story, told by his son, before the memory softens and the details drift, and for the family that carries what he passed down.
