My sincerest condolences Nancy and Sarah at this very troubled time. As a young copilot, I had the good fortune to work with Greg at Canadian partner. He treated his work, his position and his peers with professionalism and respect . He will be so missed.

Very sad to hear of Greg’s passing, but his love of flying will always remain with those of us who knew him here in Regina and elsewhere, as well as him just being a really fine fellow. Sincerest condolences to all the family.

My dearest Nancy and Sarah and to the rest of the Griffith family. I wanted to send you my hugs and thoughts and prayers from my family to yours. It is hard to know what to say in times like these, but to let you know that I will always cherish the fact that I got to know Greg and to spend the time with you both that I did. My heart breaks for you and Sarah, but know that if you ever need someone to talk to I am only a phone call away. It is times like these that we need friends and family the most to draw from for our strength. You will be in my thoughts and if I could package up a hug and send it off to you I would. My sincerest condolences and prayers for you both. Annette And Family

Nancy, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. My heart breaks for you and your family. Words cannot express how sorry I am. Just know that I send you my deepest sympathy and hugs to you and your family.

I did not know Greg at work but had the pleasure of meeting Greg and his family while assisting as coach of our kids soccer team. Greg helped as manager of the team. Never once did I hear a negative response by Greg, he was always the first volunteer his time and help.
He will be greatly missed.
God speed Greg looks like heaven has another great helper.

Nancy and Sarah please know that we will always have you in our prayers

Orrettt, Zoey and Isel Williams

Greg & I pretty well did the same job at Canadian Partner. We’d swap stories over a bite when laying over in the same destinations with our crews. It wasn’t until he was on the ‘Little Fokker’ that we actually flew together.
Bumping into his silly mug at flight planning always was a fresh breath. Although we had a job to get done, it was still fun to catch up. We will all miss him.
My deepest condolences.

I knew Greg from the OEL/Canadian Partner era, he always had a smile and time for his co-workers. He will be truly missed.
My deepest condolences.

Dear Nancy, Words escape me. I cannot imagine your heartache. You and your daughter are in my thoughts and prayers. My sincerest condolences, Sue

Paolo De Rango

Dear Nancy, Sarah and Family,
We are deeply saddened by this news and can only hope that our collective stories about our fond experiences with Greg comfort you in this difficult time.
I loved flying with Greg because he could always out do me in his mischievous ways. Whether it was switching the channels using his gadget watch in a bar while patrons were fixated on the Olympics or leading the instructor astray in class, he kept us giggling under our breaths. Our namesake “MacGyver” was so fitting!
He would tease my wife, the Customs Officer on how he could always sneak things through the border so always referred to Greg as “The Smuggler”!
Not many can people in this life can pass on and leave us smiling and giggling the way Greg has. I hope you can break through your sorrow now and then and laugh along too.
As I write this from my layover in Hong Kong, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you as I was unable to attend to offer my condolence

Dear Nancy & Sarah. I always enjoyed a visit with Greg. He had interesting stories to tell and was always the entertainer. When any children were around they were often educated as well. He loved computers & gadgets and sometimes he and Karen would ” computer talk ” for hours. We also played a lot of kaiser and he was an aggressive bidder, very competitive! I will miss him and I am so very sorry for your loss of a special husband, partner and father.

Brian

I remember Greg as a young pilot at Prairie Flying. He was one of the good ones, destined for the airlines. He treated his airplanes with care, his friends with respect, and was a fine person to work with.
He is fondly remembered.

Sarah and Mrs. Griffith

We are so sorry to hear about your Dad. Our heart felt thoughts and prayers are with you. We will always remember the great smile your Dad had on his face any time we saw him. He’s a wonderful man.

So sorry for the loss of your husband and father. My heartfelt condolences to both of you. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

I would like to express my sincere condolences to Nancy & Sarah, Greg’s extended family, and Greg’s best friend Colin

After reading the multitude of tributes to Greg, I can only reiterate what an awesome fellow he was, in every aspect of his life. Greg took pride in everything he did, from being a professional pilot, to being a friend, to helping a neighbour, and above all his family. Greg has obviously touched and inspired many people through out his life, and as a result, I think Greg should be celebrated for who he was.

Cheers to Greg
You’ll be sadly missed, and fondly remembered.

Dear Nancy,
My sincere condolences to you, your daughter, and family. I’m sending warm thoughts and prayers to all during this very difficult time. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Dear Nancy and Family,

David Gall

Dear Nancy and Sarah,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Whenever we saw Greg at a school function or out around town, he was always smiling and always took the time to ask how we were. One of the kindest, most thoughtful people you could ever ask to meet….a true gentleman. He will be sadly missed.

Dear Nancy and Sarah,
Our deepest sympathies and condolonces for the loss of your husband, your father. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. He emailed Tom to wish Chloe a speedy recovery after an injury at a soccer game…truly a kind and caring person. He will be sadly missed.

Dear Nancy and Sarah,

With heartfelt sadness my thoughts dwell on your deep and sudden loss of cherished husband and father too soon. My sympathies and prayers for you and your family. So, so sorry for your loss….

Nancy and Sarah

It was a fitting service today. Greg was an idol of mine with his constant ability to offer advice to me on numerous issues and I’m happy he invited Jennifer and I to his other love, Hawaii. Sarah you were awesome today, you’re a very beautiful girl who carries on her father’s looks and mannerisms. It brings a smile to my face to see a part of him, when I see you.
“MacGyver” I dedicate every flight I do from this day forward to you my friend.

Very sad news.

Dave & Linny

I am very saddened by Greg’s loss. I first knew Greg when he lived just down the street from me when I was growing up in Edmonton, nearly 40 years ago! We would build tree forts in the forest and play with CB radios. We came in contact again years later when we were both pilots at Canadian Partner. I will remember his easy going nature, his amazing recollection of a myriad of information and his love for his family.

Nancy
I am so so sorry to hear about your loss. I was on holiday and just
returned to work today and found out about your terrible loss. My heartfelt condolence and sympathies to you, your daughter and your family. Please let me know if I can do anything at all to help you.

Nancy and Sarah,
Our condolences to you and your families. I loved flying with Greg and remember when I first flew with him at Partner. He always made me laugh. Everytime we chatted it ended with laughter. He will be missed and wish you and Sarah strength during this difficult time in knowing that you have family and friends by your side.

Joe and Samuela

Nancy and Sarah,

I can’t express how saddened and shocked i was to bump into you today, Nancy, and find out about the passing of Greg. Jed and I have very fond memories of sitting at karate and “yacking” with yourselves and Greg. We have always thought of you all as such kind-hearted people and are thinking of you during this unbelievably difficult time.

Dianne, Jed, Ben and Ryan Hoegler

Nancy,

I was saddened to hear the news of Greg’s passing. Your strength and commitment to each other was amazing and I hope it will bring some comfort to you. Be strong my friend and know that I send you and Sarah nothing but positive energy and good thoughts.

Nancy and Sarah,

We were shocked and saddened to hear of Greg’s passing. Our condolences go out to you and your family.

Greg became part of our lives through Canadian Regional. I have great memories of a time spent joined at the hip, walking the shorelines and streets of Dinard, France as we worked through the initial F28 Simulator together. After that we spent many an hour rocketing through the skies having a wonderful time. Greg’s warm smile and ever happy approach to life and the job made these times memorable. I always looked forward to flying with Greg. Even though we lost touch with each other he will be sorely missed.

Don and Kelly

Today is January 1st and would have been Greg’s 53rd birthday. We miss him so much. We thank you all for your many kindnesses and words of remembrance. They are such a comfort to us at this very sad time in our lives. Love each other, don’t put things off, live for today. Appreciatively, Nancy and Sarah

I have just reread peoples condolences, on behalf of the rest of Nancy and Sarah’s Family,I too would like to thank everyone for their comforting words. Reading the highly respectable words that so many people had concerning how Greg had touched their lives gave me the feeling of a nice warm embrace. I will be forever grateful that those said people took the time to share their memories and thoughts. I know that your words are a great support to Nancy and Sarah.
Thank you

Nancy,
What a shock it was today to see the notice of Greg’s death in the Regina paper. I was so glad to learn that Greg achieved his dream of being an Air Canada Pilot.
Please know that I am thinking of you; take care.
Donna

Nancy and Sarah,
I do not know what to say. I am deeply sorry to hear about your loss. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. Hope to see you soon.

Dear Nancy & Sarah
We saw the obit in this week’s Carlyle Observer and were so shocked to hear of your husband and father’s passing.
We want you to know we’re thinking of you and share in your sorrow at this sad time.
We remember Greg from the reunion that was held here in Arcola.
Sincerely,
Gail & Brian Crump

Dear Nancy:

I remember sitting at the table in the lunch room with you not more than a few days before your husband passed away……chatting with you and appreciating that you’re always in the BEST of humor, smiling, encouraging, positive in outlook, and genuinely caring about your fellow workmates.
As the news spread of your husbands passing, it rather hit some of us like a brick. Even though many of us at work don’t know you that well personally, myself included, your sunny disposition can and does have a strong impact.
It’s with great sadness that I send this note of condolence to you and your daughter Sarah. I’ve thought of you often since hearing, and continue to do so. I wish you and Sarah great strength, love, and support from your family and all your friends as you both continue to cope with your loss.
Sincerely,
Bill Neufeld

I only just found out the news of Greg’s passing through a family friend, and a former neighbor of yours (Arthur). Greg was a very kind, and helpful man. Greg and I helped arrange the itinerary of Arthur and my mom’s European trip. I was impressed with how Greg went out of his way to be so helpful. This is so sad, and life was taken away too soon for Greg. My heart goes out to the family.
