Not sure what to say?

I'm sorry to be so late with my condolences, but I just found out about Mr. Greco's passing. Many, many years ago he was living with Hazel and their children just two houses away from my home in Old North St. Louis, and he played an important part in my birth! It was a snowy night in 1954 when my mom went into labor, and my dad went to the Greco's to ask to use their phone to call a cab (my parents had neither a phone or car). Hazel immediately told Dominic to drive them to the hospital, and...

Dom, like his brother and sister, was one of those rare individuals who are always upbeat, always have a smile on their face for you, and treat others as they would want to be treated. In return, when you were in his presence, you felt upbeat and happy too. And, as a bonus, he appreciated a good cigar. He was a good man indeed.

Uncle Dom, You taught me and my family so much, you are going to be terribly missed. Watching you teach John, Andrew and Gretchen always made me happy, and you were their Grandpa Greco or Unk! When I graduated from college and went into sales, you loaned me your book "Think and Grow Rich" -I devoured it, and it helped me to overcome all the obstacles I put on my self. I know without your influence, I would of never started my business. Thanks for being the first one in our family to go...

I knew Dom thru working at Tacony Corp for over 25 yrs,when he came to holiday functions there or talking on the phone to him,he always had that wonderful smile and hug that so identified him, I feel fortunate to have known
Such a wonderfull
Man. I send my condolences to his family and pray for his everlasting peace

Uncle Dom you will be missed. We all have favorite memories of you laughing, telling stories, jokes. I especially enjoyed when you and Aunt Hazel would come visiting. You always lightened things up and made everyone feel better.

One particular visit you came over to moms and found me home alone. I have just gotten home from college and everyone was gone for the day. I was crying for no apparent reason and you were so comforting. You said I was probably home sick and it was...

Lou and Carol: Sorry to hear the news of your Dads death. What a fantastic guy he was. I realized this morning that I knew your dad for 55 years. He was a truly wonderful and ever welcoming man and we will miss him. Kathy and I are out of town but we will keep all of you in our prayers. I like to think that Dom, Uncle Sleepy and my Dad are enjoying a cool one in heaven right now. Three of the original "G Boys" Don and Kathy Goedeker

I only met Dom on a few occasions. I had the pleasure of having a sit down conversation with him last July at the retiree luncheon. In the brief moments I shared with him, he made me laugh often. This world and the GCBC will not be the same going forward. Now, he watches from above. Lets continue to make him proud by following the path he and his generation provided for us. Dom will be missed!

Everyone in the Dominic Greco family:
Lord, Thou hast not done me wrong,
I thank Thee for the precious loan afforded me so long.
Love and prayers, Sue Parada

American Legion Post 111

Dominic was a wonderful person. We shared memberships in American Legion Post 111, and the Missouri Amphibious Navy. We also shared a Navy background and accepted each other as both friend and shipmate. I will always remember him, his laughter, and his good will to others. God bless him; R.I.P.
