GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Mich. – One of the people killed in the attack on a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouse in Michigan was being remembered as a grandfather who adored spending time with his family.

John Bond, a Navy veteran, was among those who died Sunday morning when a Marine veteran smashed his pickup truck into the church and began shooting, according to friends organizing fundraising for the family.

Bond was well-known in the community and loved golfing and trains, said the GoFundMe post
