Obituary of GREG LOCKE

Greg Locke has left us and it is a much sadder place. One less person to help others in need. He had a hard time saying "No" and gave freely of his time.

With heavy hearts we mourn the passing of our beloved husband, father and Papa, Gregory Barry Locke on December 20, 2020. Remaining to cherish his memory are his wife Brenda, children Jennifer (Jeff), Steven and his two adorable grand-children Emily and Ethan.

Greg was born and raised in Winnipeg. He met Brenda in 1972 and they were married in 1976. Greg worked for MPI for 32 years, until his retirement in 2010 on his 55th birthday. His passions in life included being with family and volunteering when needed. Camping and going on trips with the kids continued until the kids decided they were too old to be around Mom and Pa. Then it was just the two of them that travelled. They didn't quite get around the world, but they came pretty close.

Even though he retired from work, he did not retire from volunteering and giving back. He gave of his time to multiple organizations for over 40 years, sometimes volunteering 6 days a week. There was nothing he wouldn't do for anyone. 

Cremation has taken place as per Greg's wishes. If friends so desire, donations in Greg's memory may be made to Cancer Care Manitoba or Riverview Health Center or to a charity of one's choice. 

When someone you love becomes a memory the memory becomes a treasure. Please send any memories to greglockememories@gmail.com
