Daniells, Gregory Bruce of Vulcan, passed away peacefully with his
family by his side at Calgary South Health Campus on November 15, 2016
at the age of 65 years.

Greg was born in Stettler, AB on Dec. 9, 1950 to Blanche Patricia and
Bruce Karl Daniells. Greg’s mother Blanche passed away on Nov. 14,
1961.  Bruce remarried Norma Etta Wells on Jul. 3, 1963.  To this
marriage, his two siblings were born, Sharon in 1964 and Mark in 1969.  
Greg started school in Hazel Cameron Elementary and came back to
graduate from County Central High School in Vulcan. On Jul. 3, 1971,
Greg married the love of his life, Linda May McNiven, in Blackie, AB.
Greg and Linda had 2 children: a son Jake in 1972, and a daughter Kim in
1974.

Greg was a hard worker. He and his dad Bruce owned and operated the B&G
Tire Shop for several years. He owned and operated a tire service truck,
a rubber tire backhoe and also hobby farmed. Greg also enjoyed sales,
from fish to real-estate.  Most recently, he could be found with his red
and white polka-dotted cap, driving his Kubota tractor mowing lawns or
in his mini bobcat after a winter storm clearing sidewalks and driveways
for all his customers. Greg was very mechanically inclined and could
usually figure out why a machine didn’t work, then fix it and have it
running in relatively short order. Sometimes his repairs and
modifications were rather innovative!

Greg loved spending time with his family and socializing with friends.  
After a hot day of mowing grass or trimming hedges, he could be found in
“the office” having a cool beverage. Greg also enjoyed riding horses in
the back country, hunting, fishing and camping. He especially enjoyed
his most recent camping trip with his grandchildren Rose, Tyce and their
families.

Greg loved animals of all kinds.  He brought home many unusual family
pets like his de-scented skunk Morris and potbellied pig Blossom.  
Horses were always a favourite, and in his youth he participated in
gymkhanas, 4-H and showed horses winning many honors.

Greg is survived by his son Jake (Kim) Daniells, daughter Kim (Paul)
Fortin, grandchildren Rose Fortin and Tyce Daniells, and mom Norma
Daniells all from Vulcan, sister Sharon (Bill) Schmeelke of Champion,
