Gregory Lee Adamavich left us peacefully on July 5
th
at Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice in Sheboygan Falls, WI at the age of
71.
Greg was born on March 8
th
, 1947 in Sheboygan and
graduated from North High in 1965. Greg proudly served in the US Army in
Vietnam from 1968-1969 as a radio operator. From the time he was young,
he was drawn to music and that passion continued throughout his life.
Greg has shared his love of music, as well as his talent for playing the guitar
with friends and family his entire life. Once dubbed the “Music Man”,
Greg could play and sing the lyrics to what seemed like an endless number of
songs. Greg was also a champion level backgammon player; a skill he honed
while working and living in the gaming industries of Reno, Lake Tahoe, and Las
Vegas. The only thing Greg loved more than the guitar and backgammon were
his friends and family. Greg cherished, and often encouraged, family
gatherings and togetherness. Greg was a devoted father and grandfather, a
loving son and brother, and a dedicated friend to many.
Greg will be lovingly remembered by his family including his
mother, Ruth Adamavich, partner in life Barbara Griffith, loving daughters Ann
Emond, Amanda Hildebrand (Eric), step-daughter LesLee Pasquill, as well as his
grandchildren, and joys of his life, Lacy, Angelaca, Madeline and
Benjamin. Greg was the oldest of six children and was a dear friend to
all his brothers and sisters: Kate Munns (Wendell), Richard Adamavich, Dan
Adamavich, Carol “CJ” Duehring (Scott), and Mary Adamavich (Barry).
Greg will also be forever remembered by his numerous nieces, nephews and
extended family and dear friends.
