It is with profound sadness that we
announce the passing of R. Gregory Olive,
58, of Fairfield, Westmorland Co, NB, surrounded by his beloved family
at his home, on Sunday, June 3, 2018.
Greg loved music, playing his guitar and
singing. He was an avid salmon fisherman and outdoorsman who
especially enjoyed his time on the Miramichi River. Greg was
a devoted father and grandfather who always made time for his family
and friends, making them smile with his songs on the front
porch.
He will be dearly missed by his wife and
best friend of thirty-four years, Karen-Anne (nee Cormier); three
children, Katelyn (Adam Phinney), Raym Olive, and Guy Olive; three
grandchildren, Gaige, Trenton, and Crystianna, all of Fairfield; his
mother, Margaret Olive, Moncton; his sister, Diana, BC; his aunts,
Janet McNutt, and Diane Phillips, and close cousins, Roy Olive and Bob
Bowser.
Greg was predeceased by his beloved
father, Raymond Guy Olive.
Arrangements are under the care and
guidance of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge
Street, Sackville (506-364-1300). There will be an afternoon
of remembrance at the funeral home to celebrate Greg's life, 2-4 pm,
Friday, June 8, 2018. All are invited to
