David Greig

It is with profound sadness that our family announces the passing of
 our loving father, grandfather, papa, brother, uncle and friend. Dad 
fought a courageous battle with heart disease with much dignity.
 Predeceased by his beloved wife Ruth, dog Smokey, parents John and
 Maggie, 4 sisters and 2 brothers. He is survived by children Shelley
(Vic), David Jr., Stacee, grandsons Brad (Stacey), Jeff (Stacey), and 
great grandchildren Taiyler, Lucas, and an unborn great grandbaby due in
 September. He is also survived by sisters Barb and Helen. Dave was 
born in Carragana, Saskatchewan and served proudly in the R.C.N. for 5
years. He was happiest at the University of Victoria where he worked 
for 33 years until his retirement. Dad was a man of great character
 who enjoyed his family, dinners, the casino, watching sports especially curling and CFL football. He loved all the old programs on 
TV, his Saturday breakfasts with his son at the P.I. Pub, walks on the
 breakwater with his daughters, the petting zoo and Beacon Drive In
 with great grandson Lucas. The family would like to thank the staff at RJH
8th floor south for the wonderful care that Dad received - especially
 nurse Jill and RCA Carl for their exceptional, compassionate care on 
Dads final day. Also, our heartfelt thanks go out to Dads closest 
friends Doreen, Edna, Ken & Carol for showing our father friendship 
and love. A celebration of life will take place on Sunday, August 18,
2013 at #1 Lekwammen Drive (off Admirals Road) from 12:00 to 3:00 pm.

name would be appreciated. To send a donation click above on send a memorial gift.
