Born on June 23, 1947, in Truro hospital, Greg was the oldest of three children to Nellie Laura Watson and Clarence 'Mick' Maguire. Better known as Greg, he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Greg's life was filled with passion and creativity. He was a talented tile setter and rock work artist, whose skills were admired by many in Pigeon Lake and beyond. His love for music was evident in his eclectic collection of blues, jazz, and other genres. Greg was also an athlete, excelling in various sports such as swimming, springboard diving, bowling, tennis, and pool, with golf being his lifelong favorite pastime.

Greg's adventurous spirit took him on many travels around the world, including road trips across Alberta and golf holidays. He loved spending time with family and friends, whether it was on the beach, around the campfire, or playing cards. His free-spirited nature and zest for life made him a beloved friend to many.

Greg is survived by his soulmate and life partner, Sandy Wright; two sons, Todd Smith and Kyle (Angie) Smith; grandchildren, Emily (Reed), Sarah, Janie, Flynn; two sisters, Christine (Richard) Begin and Jacqui (Doug Stevenson) Smith; nephews, Jahren (Carly), Keegan, Soren (Jecoliah), Casey (Christa); niece, Katie (Pierce); Sandy's daughter, Kristine Wright; and son, Greg (Johanna) Wright, with grandchildren Taeya and Kaesen.
