Greg Eucher Morais
MORAIS, Greg E. ‘Yogi’
Pictou
Greg Eucher ‘Yogi’ Morais, of Pictou, Nova Scotia, passed away in the presence of his family on Sunday, September 27th, 2026. At the time of his passing, he was 89 - and a half as he liked to remind everyone.
Greg’s early years were spent in Tracadie, New Brunswick, alongside his parents and 14 siblings. Il était fier de sa grande famille chère à son cœur et de ses racines Français.
He was dedicated to his career as a Boilermaker, with his work taking him all over Canada. It even brought him to Pictou, where he met his late wife, Marie Morais and together they started their family.
Greg was an active member of the Stella Maris Parish. He enjoyed playing cards at the local New Horizons Club and from time to time would join the Tim Hortons coffee crew.
After retirement, he found enjoyment in making maple syrup and later started Morais Maple. The maple syrup farm was much more than a project to keep him busy. The Sugarshack became a place the entire family connected. All coming together to prepare wood for the evaporator, boil, bottle or label the syrup. It really took a little help from everyone.
Greg was predeceased by his wife, Marie Morais; his parents, Allard and Bella Morais; and many of his siblings.
His memory is carried on by his children, Ken Morais, and Kim Arsenault; his daughter-in-law, Darlene Morais; his son-in-law, Don Arsenault; his grandchildren, Celine Morais-Li (Jason Li) and Chris Hale (Brette Hale); and great grandchildren, Olsen Li and Finnegan Hale. He is also survived by his extended family of siblings, nieces, nephews and cousins on both the Morais and Duguay side, in New Brunswick.
Family and friends are invited to join us in remembering Greg at a visitation on Thursday, October 1st, from 1-3pm at McLaren Funeral Home. A private funeral service will follow.
To keep Greg close to your heart, today and anytime you want to remember him, simply treat yourself to your favourite dessert, play a game of crib or go for a walk in the forest and enjoy the fall leaves.
He spent his final days at the Glen Haven Manor. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to all the staff, they offered the upmost care and compassion to Greg and family.
Ce n’est pas un au revoir pour toujours, seulement pour maintenant.
It’s not goodbye forever, only for now.
