It is with sadness that we inform you of the passing of Gregory (Greg) Robert Walker of Richmond B.C. Greg passed away on May 25, 2022, after a courageous battle with leukemia. He is survived by his wife Thalita and his daughter Charlotte of Richmond, BC; his mother Betty Jean Walker of Oliver, BC; his brother Kent Walker (Liz) of Toronto, Ontario, and was predeceased by his father John Harrison Walker.
Greg was born in New Westminster B.C. on October 22, 1956, and at the age of 5, moved to Toronto where he spent his childhood. After graduating from Kipling Collegiate Institute, Greg pursued his higher learning at the University of Toronto with a double major in History. After graduating from the University of Toronto, Greg went on to Carleton University in Ottawa, with majors in French and Journalism. During his university years, Greg worked summers for CP Air as an aircraft ramp attendant at Toronto International and Ottawa International Airports. Upon graduation from Carleton University, Greg launched his career as a reporter for the Globe & Mail in Toronto, covering the political scene at Toronto’s City Hall and Queen’s Park. Greg went on to become the Chief of Staff for Ontario’s Minister of Health Murray Elston, and later became the Government Relations Manager for the Ontario Lottery Corporation.
After building a solid career foundation in Ontario, Western Canada beckoned. Greg came back to BC to be closer to his parents who had retired to wine country in Oliver, joining the BC Lottery Corporation. After an illustrious career as the Director of Public Affairs at BCLC, Greg recently retired in the spring of 2023.
Greg was very community minded and believed in ‘giving back’, serving for many years as the Chair of Richmond’s Museum Society. Greg had a passion for travel, art galleries and jazz, and always looked forward to his traditional Friday night steak BBQ’s, enjoying a glass of vintage red wine with his family.
Most important to Greg were his wife Thalita and his daughter Charlotte, building a life and memories together.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday June 22 (2pm), at Richmond’s South Arm United Church.
