Obituary of Mr. Stanley Russell Gregg

Gregg, Stanley, Russell of Toronto passed away peacefully at North York General Hospital at the age of 93 (or as Stan would say “39”).

A consummate gentleman with endless kindness and consideration. Dedicated son of Montague John Gregg (Oxford, UK), and Hazel Caroline (nee Agnew) (Acton).  Cherished husband of Dorothy (nee Chantler) for nearly 71 years. Beloved father of Brenda (James Murray) (Barrie), and Steven (Peggy) (Niagara-on-the-Lake). Proud grandfather of Matthew (Ottawa), Tyler (Calgary), Stevie (St. Catharines), and Jonathan (Toronto).  Dear brother to Bernice and Grenville. Predeceased by siblings Vernon, Ernest, Victor, Eleanor and Allan. Fondly remembered by numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

Stan’s early love of big band and jazz music saw him play both clarinet and saxophone in Band Shell performances in Toronto.  Stan was a long-time employee of Norgraphics (Northern Miner Press) in Toronto. He spent most of his career as a Graphic Consultant and was known as a perfectionist in printed media, including many Annual Reports for major Canadian Corporations.  Stan loved to spend time with his family as well as listening to his favourite Jazz music. Later in life Stan’s artistic side emerged in both wood carvings and stained-glass masterpieces.

Stan, Dad, Papa, “Nats” you will be forever remembered and sadly missed by all.
