We Remember
BENNETT, Gregory Harold Thomas
March 12, 1963 — July 1, 2019
Gregory Harold Thomas Bennett passed away peacefully in his home on July 1, 2019. He is survived by his wife Connie; son David; mother Audrey; brothers Brad (Birgit), Kevin (Leah), Stephen (Shayna); 10 nieces and nephews; and one great nephew. He was predeceased by his father Bill.
The youngest of four brothers, family was important to Greg and he was most devoted to his son David.
He understood brotherly love, his brothers always knew how to get a rise out of him and he knew how to give it back! This was true as kids but also true in business later in life, Greg was a trusted and loyal partner in the family’s businesses for the past 30 years.
As a native Westsider he had a large circle of friends. He was a gentle soul known for his great sense of humour, his huge heart and how he loved a good laugh. In his earlier years he was an accomplished athlete in baseball, football and skiing – skiing on snow at Big White, or on Okanagan lake waters all summer. He was a natural.
There will be a celebration of life on Saturday, September 7, 2019 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.
