GREGORY, John,

GREGORY - John. It is with heavy and saddened hearts, that Michael and Joanne announce the passing of their father John on Monday, August 6, 2001. Dad fought bravely during the last weeks, but finally the fight proved too much and the angels came and took him home. Dad was born in the Endeavour district on July 4, 1922. He attended school in the district, but left his schooling early in life to start working. On September 23, 1950, he married Catherine Bilak, the only daughter of John and Maria Bilak. Dad also started his career with the City of Regina in October of the same year. In 1955, John and Kay were blessed with a son Michael. While with the city, Dad was instrumental in assisting several family and friends with secure employment with the city. Dad was always a "pillar of strength" to the Gregory family and was always lending a helping hand to his brothers, sisters, and their families. Dad and Mom's door was always open to their home, and a good meal and a bed awaited many an out of town visitor, expected or unexpected. They had many close friends where they shared meals, card games, but most of all, enjoying each other's company. Many of Dad and Mom's friends were formed from Dad's involvement with the Shrine organization. Dad and Mom enjoyed holidaying and travelling. They did their best to make a happy home for themselves, their son Michael, and Baba Bilak. Another milestone happened in 1981, when Michael married Joanne Hyshka. Dad and Mom now had the daughter they always wanted. In 1982, Dad retired from the City of Regina as the head supervisor of the Streets and Roads Section of the Engineering Department. Dad and mom enjoyed their retired life until 1997 when Dad suffered a stroke and Mom passed away 3 months later. After his recovery, I enjoyed it when Dad moved to Saskatoon, so we could be close once again. During the past 4 years, Joanne's family became a big part in Dad's life. Here in a new place, he had made many friends, and loved all who he got to know. Tragedy hit again this year when his svaty Joseph and Savella Hyshka passed away 40 days apart. These two deaths had a marked impact on Dad. Dad will be sadly missed by his loving son Micheal and his wife Joanne, Joanne's family, Debra (Matt) Holinaty, Zenon (Sheryl) Hyshka, and their children Amanda, Alanna, Anthony and Alicia Hyshka, as well as Mark and Zenon Holinaty, sisters Justine (Mike) Anaka and Anne (Mel) Hemphill. Sisters-in-law, Mary, Doris, and Alice Gregory, as well as other extended family members. He will also be missed by his very close friends Nick and Mary Uhryn, George and Evelyn Gradiner, and the Zahariuk and Romaniuk families. He was predeceased by his wife Catherine, infant daughter Diana, parents Wasyl and Katrina, in laws John and Maria Bilak, svaty Joseph and Savella Hyshka, brothers Nick, Metro, Aaron, and a sister Mary. The Funeral Service will be held TODAY at the Ukrainian Orthodox Pro Cathedral of the Decent of the Holy Ghost, 1920 Toronto Street, Regina, Sask., on Saturday, August 11, 2001 at 2:00 pm, with interment following at Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery in Regina. Funeral service will be officiated by Rev. Roman Kocur. Memorial donations may be made in Dad's memory to the charity of one's choice. Arrangements have been entrusted to Coventry Funeral Services and Acadia Drive Funeral Chapel. We will miss you Dad! Vichnaya Pam'yat
