(MAILTO:fischers@sunwave.net) Greg Funk September 22, 1955 - December 31, 2008 Greg lost his 8 year battle with cancer at the age of 53. He maintained a positive attitude to the very end. He had an unshakable faith in God, love for family and friends and a very strong will to live. Giving up was never an option. Greg was born and raised in Calgary and always wanted to be a policeman. He joined the RCMP at 19 and 34 years later reached the rank of Inspector. He took great pride in that accomplishment. The RCMP was his extended family. He met many people during our Northern postings, both members and civilians, forming life long friendships. Greg was outgoing, friendly, compassionate, a great listener and truly cared about people. He was the life and soul of the party with his quick wit and infectious sense of humor. He had great respect for and took pride in the force and its members. Being a policeman wasn't just what he did it was part of who he was. His greatest joy was family, especially his daughters: Caitlin and Christina. They were his greatest gifts. He was incredibly proud of each milestone in their lives. His wife Calli was his soul mate and best friend. Next to family the love of his life was fishing and he did it with a passion. A fishing rod and chair next to the river and a cold beer. Greg's idea of heaven! He will be greatly missed and forever loved by his wife, Calli and daughters, Caitlin and Christina. He is survived by his loving parents: Henry & Marie, who meant the world to him; sisters: Gwen (Daryl), Darla (Gerry); brother of heart: Rob Stutt also mother-in-law: Shirley; brother-in-law: Larry (Trish); sister-in-law: Jill (Glen); nephews: Blaine, Ryan (Tiziana), Jordan; nieces: Kendra and Karlee and many aunts, uncles and cousins. A special thank you to all the staff and volunteers at Hospice house. You are an amazing group of people and made us all feel so welcome and cared for. Words can't express the gratitude of our family. Thanks also to Dr. Wiid, Dr. Verwey and Dr. Bishop and the awesome nurses at the cancer clinic.
