GREGGOR: Alvin Greggor September 4, 1930 - February 27, 2013. Alvin passed away peacefully with his family by his side on February 27, 2013 at the age of 82. Alvin was born in Goodeve, Saskatchewan. He spent his early years farming in the Woodnorth/Cromer area in Manitoba. The family moved into Brandon in 1967 where he held jobs with MacArthur Trucking and Macy Foods. Alvin and Shirley moved to the Salmon Arm area in 1981 where he worked for Paul and Lil Sherba (Clean Care Services) until his retirement. Alvin loved farming and from this came his love of nature. He loved nothing better than puttering in his yard resulting in a beautiful gathering place for family. He also loved fishing. He had many fishing days in Manitoba and on the Shuswap with his brother, Ian, where they would sit for hours swapping stories. His grandchildren heard lots of stories about the good old days and these will be missed by all. He leaves behind his wife of 58 years, Shirley, his children: Darla (Rick) Wilkinson, Darcy Greggor, Dean Greggor, Shari (Bruce) Ball and Bradley Greggor. Also grandchildren Troy, Trevor, Tysen, Brodie, Dustin, Jared, Ashlee, Malcolm, Madyson, Jaicee and Jaiden and great grandchildren Brooke and Aiden. Alvin was predeceased by his parents, Joe & Jean Greggor, his brother and sister, Ian and Josephine and his daughter Kimberley. Alvin always referred to the Prairies as home and he will be returning to the old Homestead this summer. A celebration of Alvin’s life will be held at the Reston United Church with a date as yet undetermined. The family wishes to thank Dr. Kirkman and the wonderful staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital and Bastion Place for their compassionate care of Alvin in his final days.
