Predeceased by his parents, Andrew McNiece and Kathleen (Keating) Stinton of Cambridge, ON.
Gregory was a Carpenter by trade, later becoming a Transport Truck Driver known as the “White Rabbit”. The time in-between trades he took a position working for the city of Owen Sound in the Park and Rec where he pursued a personal passion for landscaping and maintenance. It was during this time he was honored for the Harrison Park Inn Fundraiser Initiative that rebuilt after a fire. Many recognize him as a face of Sam the Record Mans until its doors closed. Others will associate him with the family business in Cambridge where he worked as a young man alongside in his father’s factory.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration in Owen Sound of Greg’s life will be announced at a later date. Sympathy may be expressed through donations to the Alzheimer Society or Liver Canada to support research.
