He worked with the Municipality of Wood Buffalo in Environmental Services and spent more than twenty years as a labourer with LIUNA Local 92 in Fort McMurray. Earlier in his career, he also worked as an operator in Cape Breton with the Operators Union. Greg was respected by his coworkers and friends for his strong work ethic, dependability, and willingness to lend a hand whenever needed.

Outside of work, Greg found his greatest happiness in the simple pleasures of life. He loved camping, hunting, fishing, and kayaking, especially when sharing those adventures with family and friends. He enjoyed tinkering around the yard, spending time outdoors, and making the most of every season. Above all, Greg treasured the life he shared with Lisa, the love of his life and devoted companion.
