Greg J. Granger

CHICOPEE

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Greg Granger announces his peaceful passing on February 14, 2021. Born and raised in Chicopee, Greg was the son of Albert and Clarice (Theroux) Granger. He was a graduate of Holyoke Catholic High School and Quincy College. Greg brought to his life a great love for his family and friends, a strong work ethic, a deep sense of honor and responsibility, and a spirited and quick sense of humor. He proudly served our country in the Army National Guard on active duty and then as a reservist for 22 years. A jack of many talents, he could assemble almost anything (especially LEGOS) and fix many things. Possessing a creative flair, he redesigned his beloved home on Cape Cod. For the last 10 years, his and Joan’s lives have been blessed by their beautiful grandsons, Jack and Griffin, who loved their “Pa” dearly. To cherish his memory, he leaves his wife Joan (Haller) Granger, his daughters Katie Gelonese (Chris), Amy and her partner Gerry Ruel; his grandsons; and his sister Denise, a Sister of Saint Joseph, Helen Perry, SSJ; a large extended family, and his wonderful friends.
