Greg was a great supporter of the Tunnelling Association of Canada for many years. His energy and ideas were a big reason for the success of the association. Our sympathies to his family.

My condolences to your family at the passing of Greg. I grew up with Greg in Madsen and was here when his father Harry passed. My last contact with Greg was when he worked as an mining inspector and i had occasion to talk to him a number of times during his visits to Dickenson Mine where I had worked.
