Gregory Friday Obituary

Anchorage resident, Gregory T. Friday "Cracker", 57, passed away on April 19, 2011, at Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage.

Gregory was born in Hooper Bay on Oct. 8, 1953. Gregory enjoyed fishing, clam digging, berry picking, and hunting. He loved the outdoors. He loved people and socializing. He helped people whenever he could. He would always bring fish to the elderly in his village when he caught some. He was sensitive and caring to everyone. He was known as "Cracker" because he once wore a Cracker Jack hat for an entire winter and the nickname stuck. Everyone knew him as Cracker after that.

I met Greg Friday in the Guard and was proud to have served with him. He was strong, dependable, and a hard worker. Alaska will be lesser without him. God bless the Friday family.

I would like to extend my condolences to the Friday family. Death is never an easy situation. Proverbs 16:31 says that grayheadedness is a crown of beauty whin it is found in the way of righteousness. Therefore, I know is wisdom is going to stick with you all and guide you through life.
