Obituary
Gregory Ernest Grimolfson
(February 25, 1954 – March 1, 2021)
We sadly announce the peaceful passing of Gregory Ernest Grimolfson on March 1, 2021.
He will be lovingly remembered by his family; daughter Joanna Grimolfson, son Erik Grimolfson, and daughter Alana Grimolfson (Sam); granddaughters Blaire Grimolfson and Andi Grimolfson; sister Darlene Chartier (Claude), sister Joanne Matheson (Tom), brother Johnny Renaud (Kerri), all his nieces and nephews, and special long-time friends Bob, Richard, John, and Marie. He was predeceased by his parents Kris and Johanna Grimolfson.
Gregory cherished his family and friends. He loved his children with all his heart and his grandchildren were the bright light in his life. He enjoyed visits as well as long deep talks with his children and loved doting on his granddaughters. He was always ready with words of advice and encouraged his children to follow their hearts. He believed in his children wholeheartedly and ensured that they knew how much they were loved.
Gregory always felt at home in the outdoors and on the water. He loved playing all sports, especially hockey. He was a journeyman carpenter by trade and meticulous in his work. He was intelligent and creative, often looking for ways to improve or create something. He shared his love of music with his children; picking up his guitar and playing any song by ear. He believed in reflecting on and improving himself; finding peace and serenity through AA and his religion.
You are so loved dad and will forever be missed.
We will have a celebration of life at a later date.
We would like to thank the Stonewall Hospital staff and palliative care team for their outstanding care and compassion.
