Gregory Raymond Stephen
1948-2017
It is with deep sadness that Rev. Father Peter Stephen and
his sister Brenda McIntyre (Stephen) announce the death of
their cousin Gregory Raymond Stephen, who died at the
Moncton Hospital on Thursday, January 12, 2017 after a brave battle
with cancer. Gregory was born in Saint John, NB on October
8,1948, the son of Frederick (Bud) Stephen and Vera Stephen
(Cross), both deceased, and was the second eldest of the 33
grandchildren of the late Sir Louis Stephen and Eva Stephen
(George). Gregory is survived by his two sisters Sheila Ann
Stephen Spooner of Tucson, Arizona, Jane Emily May Stockton
of California, his nephew David Stephen of Vancouver,
BC, and three aunts, Lillian and Leona (Lee) of
Saint John, and Pusser of Halifax, along with his
many Stephen Family cousins.
Gregory was born in the Cathedral of the Immaculate
Conception Parish and spent most of his younger years as a member
of Holy Trinity Parish. As a young
musician, Gregory was a member of several bands and best
known as a member and lead singer of one of Saint John’s
first successful rock bands, the Hodads, with well known
musician and dear friend Peter Kindred in the 1960’s. Later
Greg worked at several jobs in the food service industry, as
a labourer and a carpenter for a number of years and as a barber in
Vancouver and Montreal.
