Gregory was born in Patras, Greece on July 31, 1947. He then immigrated to Montreal with his brother in his mid-twenties. Shortly after he met Athanasia, the love of his life, which he moved to Winnipeg for. In Winnipeg, he began his career with Dominion Bridge. Gregory and Athanasia were married in October of 1974 and were later blessed with two beautiful daughters. Gregory was working at McPhillips Street Station for the last 13 years, where he recently retired in September, 2012. He made many friends at this job and was fondly known by them as Papou. Gregory was an easy going, sociable man and enjoyed meeting his friends for coffee daily. He was very passionate about gardening and on any given summer day could be found in the backyard attending to his vegetables. Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Gregory loved him. The family would like to thank the Doctors, nurses, and staff at the Grace Hospital ICU for their compassionate care.
