Willis and Shirley my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Greg. I am very sorry to learn of his passing at such a young age. During my time at Bridgewater United Church as it's Interim Minister I had the pleasure of working closely with Greg as a member of the Transition Team. He shared his gifts freely with all and everything he did was from his heart. May you find comfort in knowing that you are held in prayers and with love. May you experience the love of Christ during your time of grief. Blessings Rev. Eleanor

Dear Shirley and Willis We were very shocked and sad to hear that Greg lost his battle. I Emailed him a few times while he was in the hospital, and he would say that he was having “ good days and bad days” but he never complained. Yesterday I was out with a few of my friends, and, you know, all of them spoke very kindly of him. They all had stories about Greg helping them choose a certain wine to go with a particular meal. He was very friendly with people, which is a wonderful asset, and he so loved his “Town”. We know you will miss him terribly, but now he is at peace with his Lord. RIP, Greg

Shirley, Willis and family: My heartfelt sympathy to you in this very tender and difficult time. It was always a pleasure to be in Greg's company. I remember when I was minister in Riverport how dedicated and devoted Greg was to his Lord and his church. He gave freely of his time and shared his talents. He was always very organized and I always valued his input and thoughts regarding the matters and ministry of the church. He has been equally as giving and supportive of Bridgewater United Church. Greg had a kindness and compassion that mirrored Christ's and his gentle and caring spirit was a gift to us all. He now knows our Lord face to face and he has received his 'final healing'. May the Lord of all comfort and peace be your present help and strength. One day - in God's time - you'll be together again. God promise. Our assurance. Sending my love, Rev. Vivian Moores

Story shared: Make Mine a Double Double!

Fri, 19 Jan 2018 21:19:23 EST

I have to say that the thing I will always remember Greg for is his love for Tim Horton's Coffee.

Quite a few years ago I found a pin that had only five words on it and those words were "make mine a double double". As soon as I saw it I knew I had to give it to Greg as he was a finatic for his coffee which he had to have every morning. For years he kept it in his cash drawer at work at the NSLC and vowed to break fingers if anyone took it or moved it. He also had one of those laughs that came from the center of his body and caused those who witnessed it to double over in tears. I hope that he's sitting back now with his double double, laughing and and above all knowing so many people will miss him.

Rest in Peace Greg
