A decade has now passed. 10 years without my Gregory. As I get older, my recent memories fade and the early ones glow with a certain clarity. My brother had many hard times in his life, but I loved his enthusiasm for music.  I knew that he had a talent for music, and when I was 18, bought a piano for him, initially, but which Randy, too, played very well. Music was the thread that held our family together through the decades and struggles. I hope he loves his new place in the universe and that there is music wherever he goes.

I can’t believe that it is 9 years ago that Greg died. 9 years is at once a long time and a short time. My memories of him are very fresh in my mind. I remember going over to his and Melissa’s place one time and he talked about Bobby Vintin(sp?) Greg had a video of an interview with Vintin that was fascinating, at least for Greg and I ! And Greg’s knowledge and enthusiasm for everything music still fills my heart with joy! I remember being deeply aware of Greg’s talent for music when he was just a small child and I grieved for the lack of support and encouragement in our home that should rightly have been his. When I went out and bought that piano for him, I was expressing my great love for him and his music and I am forever grateful for having made that choice. My beautiful, talented boy!

I have been thinking about Greg so much since his death at such an early age.  I think about him often when I am driving somewhere, when I went to the beach this summer and often when I listen to music. The pain of my grief has diminished somewhat but arises every time he comes to mind. He was just the cutest baby and toddler! I used to dress him up and take him for rides on the bus just to show him off ! I bought a piano for him when I was 18 and had just started my first job at Great West Life. I was always aware of his talent for music. And I tried to support him throughout his life. So long Gregory, its been good to know ya'.

It has been nearly 6 years since I lost my beloved baby brother who I took care of when he was a baby and a toddler, a child, a teenager and a man. When Gregory Kenneth died that night on May 23rd, I lost part of my heart, although my love goes on. His love of music lives on in his children.  He left behind a wonderful partner, Melissa, who I love, and my beautiful, creative, intelligent, and loving niece & nephews. I am privileged to have had that time with Greg and to have great times with his children. Love always, Shar (Lynne)

My late husband was an inspirational man whom I loved dearly and miss tremendously. I can only pray that he would be pleased with the way I'm raising his beautiful, rambunctious children! Thank you Gregory II for this tribute site!

When Gregory was about 2 yrs old I was so proud of him, I thought he was the cutest little guy !  I would dress him up in his red jacket and red fedora and take him on the bus, not to go anywhere, just to show him off and have people comment on his cuteness !  He and I spent so much time together when he was little that he became very attached to me, acting as though I was his mom; he would cry and kick the door when I would go to school.
Gregory was very close with his brothers when he was young.  They played sports and made up games together.  One game in particular that I remember was the baseball game.  i recall that someone once told the boys that they should patent the game !

My Uncle Greg

December 10, 2013

I remember going to Vancouver as a child and visiting my Uncle Greg with my dad. He had a huge TV and a computer system. Keep in mind this was 1983. My dad and I stayed for hours playing with Uncle Greg. We also shared a love for music. Uncle greg was a fan of a band I loved that was not very popular and I was so surprised he even knew who they were. Uncle Greg had a wealth of knowledge and passion for music. When he moved back to Winnipeg we spent alot of time visiting and talking on the phone about computers and games. I really miss you. RIP Uncle Greg.
