Greg was an amazing partner in adventure and wonderful and deep friend. His birthday is tomorrow Nov 19. Cheers Greg. And Harold, amazing story. Nicely stated. Onward !

I attended Greg's service yesterday. It was a great tribute to this individual. I first met Greg sitting in a dressing in the Manex area . I had decided I would try out for the midget or bantam little Wheat Kings Hockey team . I was late for the practice and found myself alone in the dressing room with Greg .

I was from the Linden Lanes area and hung around Westridge community center and i knew Greg was from the Valley View area . I was definitely an outsider as most of the kids trying out were from the Vincent Massey / Valley view area .

All the kids werenare on the ice , this is the third tryout practice , because I had to walk to the rink I was tired and late . As I nervously hurried to get dressed Greg walked back into the dressing , not sure why , but it was just him and I . Now Greg was a great hockey player and was basically already on the team .

Greg starts a conversation with me , didn't expect that , after all we are grade 8 ers from different areas of the city. He askes me how it's going ? I tell him that it's been fun but I think I will probably get cut after this practice . He offers me encouragement with this reply ... " don't be so sure , you're doing a good job " , so hang in there .

That was Greg . Kind and friendly to a kid from the other side of town .

Our paths crossed many times as the years rolled by . He even worked at the bakery for a stint . I truly enjoyed being around Greg . Later on he had the Westman Access Show . Man was he good at that , a natural, but why won't he be . I was on his show a couple times and had some great conversations. I was watching a re-run of an episode on this past Thanksgiving Monday , he told the story of him being Mayor for a Day . Made me smile. I sent him a text , it said " Good Job , you would have been a great mayor for the day , happy thanksgiving. "

Never recieved a reply .

Gods Speed Gregory .

We will miss our dear friend Greg and especially the stories and laughter we shared each time we met. He knew what was important in life and always valued family and friends above all else. A huge heart and a beautiful soul. Rest in Peace Greg-Man!

I didnt know Greg very well but when I saw him at our games he was the happiest man in the world always had a smile on his face and the good ol clipboard by his side and a fist bump to top it off and saying "let's have a great day man". thank you for all of the laughs and stats will forever miss you

I hadn't known Greg long, but we grew close enough through Mike and Massey football to share a few rounds of golf in his later days. It was always a pleasure to be in his company, whether with him on the sidelines or on the teebox. You will be missed Greg

So sorry to hear of the passing of Greg. He was a true gentleman and always had nice positive things to say. So happy he was able to travel with us to Halifax Nova Scotia in 1987 when the BBobcats men's basketball team won the national championship. It was a great trip, and Greg made it even better. RIP Greg. You will be missed.
