  • Greg and I attended the same junior high and high school in Manitoba. I have good memories of him. He always liked to play school sports and was a friendly person. My sympathies to his family. - Posted by: Lorraine Sitar (school mate) on: Jan 17, 2013

  • His house parties are greatly missed, he was a great host. He was the one who introduced me to comics, and I enjoyed reading his Calvin and Hobbs collection. Prior to asking his wife Gwen to marry him, he asked my sister's and I what we thought of her. We all liked her and was so happy to hear he was going to ask her to marry him. He had traits that is very hard to find in people now a days, he was a great uncle and he will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Sheila (Nice) on: Jan 11, 2013
