Gregory Knackert Obituary

Knackert, Gregory G. Born on Nov. 7, 1956 in Milwaukee, Greg grew up in Franklin, WI. Greg owned and operated Greg's Tops, a remodeling company based in Oak Creek. Greg enjoyed playing golf, swimming, snorkeling, traveling, hiking and rock and roll. He played the guitar and sang in Benny's Basement Band in the late 1970's. Greg spent the last 3 years teaching his family and friends about will power, patience and spiritual fortitude as he recovered from a massive stroke. His positive outlook, sense of humor and warm heart will be sorely missed. Greg is survived by his fiancee, Jackie Pride; his siblings, Steve Knackert (Jeanne Natrop), Mark Knackert (Dawn Koss), Andrew Knackert, Mary (Dennis) Emperley, Carol Knackert and Terri Knackert; his future father-in-law, Richard (Mary) Pride; mother-in-law, Jean Pride and in-laws, Patrick (Kathy) Pride, Pam Pride, Jeff (Linda) Pride and Joani Pride. He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Mary Knackert. Friends may join the family for a Memorial Service Sat., Nov. 11, 2006 at 1 PM at ELMBROOK CHURCH, 777 S. Barker Rd., Brookfield, WI.
