Annette and the Altoft Family . So very sad coming to grips with the loss of one of my very best long time friends. Take comfort in knowing Greg was always a man of great character and so respected ...beautiful smile and laugh...a classy courteous athletic thoughtful handsome gentleman and family man with a great sense of adventure humour and fun. A great friend to many.  I have the best memories reflecting back on our many trips together to the north ...Bancroft  Maynooth  Algonquin Park.... sharing his backwoods skills and conservation. Will never forget Greg flying me in the helicopter down into the mist of Niagara Falls ...he was an excellent trusted pilot. I hope to see Greg in Heaven with his helicopter and Datsun 240Z and all his many friends someday. I hope they stock Old Vienna there...if not we'll bring some .RIP my friend. Tom Briggs

I found out today of Greg's sudden passing. I am shocked  by this news and find this difficult to process. Greg was truly a kind and generous individual. His smile, enthusiasm and sense of adventure/entrepreneurship was infectious. He was someone who loved life and encouraged others  to follow their hopes and dreams.  May the many memories you treasure  bring you peace  and comfort through this difficult time.  My deepest sympathies to the Altoft family.  May god bless. 

To the Altofts: I was so sorry to hear of Gregs passing and my condolences to you. I have many, many memories of us being neighbours. Greg was a fine man and I am richer for having known him. My prayers are with you.
