Attention Pipefitters Local #455
Age 68 of South St. Paul
Passed away peacefully on May 4, 2021. Survived by loving wife of 48 years, Connie; son, Michael (Kate); daughter, Katie (Tony) Kasper; grandchildren, Christopher, Emma, Gabriel, Logan & Hunter; goddaughter, Courtney Bellina; mother, Helen; brother, Tim (Alice); sister, Linda (Mike) Everett; best friend, Big Guy; in-laws (Rick, Kathy, Margaret, Hazle, Marvin (Sandy)), nieces, nephews and friends. Greg was a devoted, loving husband to Connie for 48 years — during which they always had each other’s back. Beautiful red roses graced her table every Valentine’s Day, Birthday, and Anniversary. Connie remembers fondly one very lean year where Greg cashed in pop bottle deposits so she could have roses on her table. Greg could be found in the stands for his children and grandchildren’s sporting events — no matter what. From Michael’s first game for football in 4th Grade to his grandson, Gabriel’s, final football game his senior year. His children and grandchildren were very important people, and the feeling was more than mutual. His love wasn’t necessarily conventional, but it was felt through his actions, his generosity and acts of kindness. He was a legendary prankster and loved every second of it. His intelligence was unparalleled and leaned upon countless times by his family. Greg was a proud member of the St. Paul Pipefitters Local #455. He retired at age 55 with 35 years of dedicated service. Anytime you walk into your local Cub Foods or Lund’s/Byerly’s you will see his fine craftsmanship on display in the refrigeration section. To say Greg will be missed is an understatement, and his loss will be felt across so many. Visitation 4-8 PM Friday, May 14 th, at Roberts Funeral Home, 8108 Barbara Ave., Inver Grove Heights. Funeral Service 11 AM Saturday, May 15th, with visitation from 10-11 am prior to the service also at the funeral home. Interment Resurrection Cemetery.
