Laurie passed away peacefully at the age of 98 years at the Wascana Veterans Home. We are sad to see his time here end but are joyful in knowing he is now home with his Lord and Savior. He was predeceased by his wife Janet; parents, Richard and Ruth Gregg; brothers, Allan and Ron; and sister-in-law Ruth. Laurie is lovingly remembered by his sons Rodger (Myrna) of Regina and Glen (Sharron) of Fort Qu’Appelle; two granddaughters, Rhonda (Jack Seitz) of Windsor, CO, and Kristie (Terry Nickerson) of Regina; two great grandsons, Jacob Seitz and Rylan Nickerson; and sister-in-law Eunice Gregg.  Laurie grew up on a farm near Tregarva, SK and moved to Regina as a young man, where he met and married Janet. After serving in WW11 Laurie returned to Regina where he worked at Singer Sewing Machine and two family owned businesses, Gregg Agencies and Supreme Kitchens.
