GREGORE WAS BORN AND RAISED IN VANCOUVER CANADA SURROUNDED BY LOVING PARENTS WHO SUPPORTED HIS CREATIVE ENDEAVORS . HIS PARENTS HAD THEIR OWN MANY TALENTS ONE IN ART AND SPORTS, THE OTHER BUSINESS.

 

 THEY LET THEIR TWO SONS EXPLORE WHATEVER INTERESTED THEM. CREATIVITY WAS ALWAYS HIGH ON THE LIST OF DAILY ACTIVITIES, THE FREEDOM TO WANDER THE WHOLE DAY ENTERTAINED  BY CREATING WORLDS UNTO THEMSELVES, CONQUERING  CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN THE BACKYARD CREEK, TO  REVERSE ENGINEERING THEIR TOYS, (TAKING THEM APART TO THE CHAGRIN OF THEIR PARENTS), JUST TO SEE HOW THEY WORKED.

 

SADLY NOT MANY TOYS MADE IT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.  GREGORE NEVER SEEMED TO WASTE A MOMENT, EVEN PACKING IN CREATIVE ACTIVITIES INTO EVERY DAY CHORES. THE DAILY WALK TO AND FROM  SCHOOL HE WHITTLED SO MANY FIGURINES HE LEFT A PERMANENT TRAIL OF WOODCHIPS IN HIS PATH, MANY A KITCHEN KNIFE WENT MISSING DURING THIS ERA.
