GREG KOSA 1955 2007 Suddenly on February 28, 2007, Greg passed away. It was so unexpected, it took my breath away. Greg leaves to mourn his loving wife of 20 years, Maureen Deanie ; sisters, Mary-Ann (Kevin), Therese (Brad); brothers, John (Ela) and Ed (Leah); mother-in-law Eva Hanna; sisters-in-law, Sharon, Marion, Heather and their families; numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews; so many friends: Al (Micky), Diane, Leroy, Martin, Lorraine, Shelley, Guy, Karen and Suzanne and other close friends. He was predeceased by his parents; grandpa and grandma Sarvage; brother Rick; and father-in-law Doug. Greg was born in Yorkton, SK, on May 25, 1955, and came to Winnipeg in his teens. Due to a motorcycle accident 31 years ago, he lived his life in a wheelchair and he mastered that well. Greg and I met at Health Sciences Centre Rehab, as I was his nurse and we married February 14, 1987. Greg was an artist, sculpting clay figures, woodworking, loving movies and video games and collecting Batman memorabilia. Greg had been employed at Priority Electric for the last three years. Special thank you to Murray for being so good, hiring Greg gave him acceptance, sense of accomplishment and bringing home a paycheque. Greg loved fishing. Many thanks to the Kehler family for use of their cottage at Falcon Lake and more recently to Ron at Falcon Lake Marina who took Greg fishing on the boat. Thank you to the Winnipeg Firemen and Paramedics and Winnipeg Police who came to my aid, Greg wouldn't want me to handle this alone. Your respectfulness of my wishes will forever comfort me. Thank you to my Deer Lodge work family, you are in my heart. Suzanne, Arianna and their family, thank you for being our Winnipeg family. Your friendship to Greg and I has been endless. Greg bought me a Valentine's Day card recently; I truly believe you find love just once. I am glad he found me. My Wife Maybe our life together hasn't been just the way we imagined it to be when we first started out But there is a big part of me that believes our love Could not be as strong and as deep as it is today Had we not met weathered the storms and remained committed during the hard times I am so glad we arrived here together at this place in our lives Our love means everything to me Happy Valentine's Day Baby Girl Love Greg Visitation will be held on Wednesday, March 7 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Vital Roman Catholic Church, 1629 Pembina Hwy., with Mass of Christian Burial being celebrated at 10:30 a.m. also at the Church.

Our brother John has passed away Greg but I'm sure he's with you in heaven by now. This family is getting smaller here on earth and larger up in heaven. Take care of him if he's confused, it was very fast he may feel lost. I miss you so much. I'll love you always, think of you always. Forever missing you, Therese💜 - Posted by: Therese Brown (Sister) on: Aug 05, 2018

Thank you Greg for all that you have been in my life; a brother, a friend, one that truly understood how much power there is in laughter and tears. Now that you have left us, I've cried, but I don't know how to feel deep down inside. You are leaving a void not just in my heart, but in the core of me...inside of my soul. Dad gave Mom yellow roses when you were born. She told me this more than once. I will leave with you a yellow rose...Take it back to Mom and Dad, Let the heaven's know you've come to them again! Love forever, Therese - Posted by: Therese Boudreau (Family) on: Mar 04, 2007
