Greig Cosier Obituary

Beloved brother and friend, Greig Cosier passed away January 7th, 2017. For over 22 years he worked at UVic in Facilities Management and became renowned for his extreme generosity and kindness. He established UVic's Custodians Award for the hardest working science student, an honor that he benevolently funded. He enjoyed working as Chuckles the clown, bringing joy and laughter to children and their parents for many years. Greig's steady faith in God was also remarkable, he acted on any opportunity to show the love of Jesus to others; so, though he will be greatly missed, as C.S. Lewis said, "There are better things ahead than any we leave behind."

It's been some years since I've had the pleasure of seeing your infectious smile around the biology buildings. However, you never forgot a face! That smile came right back whenever I bumped into you again, in one case years after the last time I saw you. You left an indelible impression on me, and you will be missed.

Greig was a kind man. The way he conducted himself in this life is an example to all of us. Grateful to have known him and had some wonderful conversations over the years during all of those evenings when we were both working away. Positive, open and helpful, Greig exemplified the best of humanity in his time at UVic. He will be missed. Condolences to his friends and family.

A kind man with a generous heart. For so many years I ended my work day with a quick chat and salutation. So one last time, knowing you will be missed by your friends in the University Centre, "Good night Greig."

A fixture of positive energy when he came to visit us all down at BP, Greg always offered smiles, encouraging words, and big beautiful ideas about helping others out. I'll drink a "swamp water wine" to you good sir, with a straw of course.
