He was my teacher at Lavalee. He was an amazing teacher and I'm sorry I missed seeing him when I visited Winnipeg. Try not to take time for granted, no one knows what tomorrow holds.

Mrs. Walker (Miss Binney!) I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imaging the size of the Greg-shaped hole in your heart after 56 years of marriage. Mr. Walker was my geography teacher in Jr High at Windsor. He was memorable for his breadth of knowledge, his capacity for conveying the necessary subject matter and having a very strong voice when vexed (not by me! ). He taught all four of us Turner Girls, and teased that he was glad to see the last of us when I graduated to Glenlawn. He gave me an appreciation for the wide world and made me excited to see it ... I have now traveled to 104 countries. May he rest in peace.

I was proud to work alongside Greg at Lavalee School in the old S.V.S.D. days. He was a valued member of that staff - a real team player.

That was at a time when there were almost no male teachers in the Primary Grades. Greg was brave enough, competent enough, and committed enough to move from his known role at the Grade 6 level to one with Grade 3, and was a brilliant success there. By doing that, he took a key role in our forward-thinking team effort at that school.

In later years Greg has kept in touch with so many old colleages and friends by finding and forwarding a great selection of interesting and fascinating e-mails - wonders of the world , and 'fall-over- laughing' signs and jokes. We are all going to miss seeing his name in the side bar, and know that a gloomy day might just have a few funfilled , or joyful moments - courtesy of Greg.

Thanks for the memories, Greg! P.S. That is SUCH a lovely photograph your family chose. Perhaps the 'School Photo Day Special' ? What a beautiful smile....

Although Greg was my only cousin on my mother's side, we saw little of each other as my family moved to Ontario when I was 5 and Greg was 7. Our paths crossed when his family travelled east to visit extended family in Halifax with stops in Ontario. And in our adult and retired years I visited Greg and Kathy when in Winnipeg and they visited me when travelling in Florida. I always enjoyed his interesting views, opinions and sense of humour. I will miss his emails and Facebook postings.

Rest in peace, Greg.

I had Greg as a teacher at Windsor. He was great !! He never used the chalkboard. He would always dictate all of our notes to us to make sure we wrote them down correctly. He said later on when you go to university, you will now be trained and an expert at taking Fast accurate notes, which will benefit you in your studies.. naturally at the time being junior high school students, we never believed him but later on in my post, secondary education he was absolutely correct the skills he taught us in listening carefully and recording facts and information accurately benefitted me a lot. My wife was a teacher for over 30 years in the Saint Patel division who got to know Greg and Cathy through work. He was always tons of fun.!!! Greg you left far too early........

I am so very saddened to hear of Greg's passing. He was an outstanding teacher and an uproariously funny friend. He talked me into working with him for two summers at Folorama, and the shinanigans and funny episodes he got us into ,were HILARIOUS!!!

My thoughts go out to his wife Kathy, and children Kim and Brent and his family

I taught with Greg for a number of years at Lavalee School where I was just learning the trade and he was the veteran. I learnered so much about teaching from Greg. He was always someone you could rely on and look up to. And yes Greg just about knew everything. It is an honour to have known him and had his frienship.

So sorry for your loss. Greg was a great guy, always enthusiastic and fun. He left a lot of memories we all will cherish.

Kathy and Family

Sorry to hear of Greg's passing. He had his own unique sense of humour and dry wit.

Kathy, I am so sorry to hear of Greg's passing. My sincerest sympathy is with you and your family.

Greg was always a pleasant member at our twice-yearly retired teachers' luncheons in St. Vital. He was much too young to leave us and be missed. Our sincere condolences to his family.
