He was a quiet, steady strength in our lives—someone people naturally looked up to. Though he’s no longer with us, the jokes, memories and spirit lives on forever.
Growing up in Ipswich, Massachusetts, Greg cultivated a passion for youth sports and was involved in one as well.
He loved Boston sports and enjoyed attending games at the Garden and other venues.
Above all, Greg had just bought tickets to a Celtics game and had purchased a new C’s shirt to wear.
He had an outgoing personality that made everyone feel at home. Greg never uttered or badmouthed anyone.
Thus far, intricate details surrounding his memorial and funeral services have yet to be published by his family.
During this challenging time, we pray for the strength of Greg’s parents, brother, friends, and extended family.
Rest In Heavenly Peace, Greg Watts!
