William Gresko Obituary

William Gresko, Our beloved father, passed away on Friday, April 13, 2007 at the age of 90. He returned to his heavenly home to be greeted and loved by his wife Jean, and his parents and family. He left behind his sister Terry, 6 children, 22 grandchildren and 43 great-grandchildren. He lived a full and rich life. He owned his own business as a U.S. Mail Contractor for over 40 years. He loved our Savior Jesus Christ and was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He attended the temple faithfully until suffering a debilitating stroke. Even then he attended church on a regular basis. Most of all his life was filled with hard work. He was a good mechanic and could fix most anything. He especially enjoyed maintaining a beautiful yard and growing a garden. Even after his stroke he would spend hours working in the yard, sitting in his wheelchair, using his one good arm to weed and do other yard work. He wore out a couple of wheel chairs that way. His life was filled with integrity, honesty. devotion and love for his God and his family. We will miss you Dad and look forward to seeing you again. A graveside service is planned for Thursday, April 19, 2007, 10:00 a.m. at the City of Mesa Cemetery, 1212 N. Center St. Mesa, AZ. Bunker's Garden Chapel handled arrangements 480-964-8686

I will always remember with love my hardworking Grandpa in his blue jumpsuit and hat. He made us homemade rootbeer and snuck us little candy treats. I love you!

When I think of Grandpa, I hear his funny, infectious laugh and picture him smiling. He was always laughing and smiling. That's what I remember most about him. Thanks for the laughs Grandpa, rest in peace.
