I have just stumbled upon this - my condolences and sorry to never know Greg was in Ottawa -right next door; our families long connected; Greg helped me with my first job and I recall him as always gentle and kind- a person I was happy to see.
Rest In Peace. Koreen Fahey, Ottawa

Michel, Joyce and family... I just found out and am deeply saddened to hear this news. Greg gave support, guidance and friendship through some of the most difficult times I faced. I will remember camping at Sandbanks and dinners at Mekong. He was a good man.
