Gregory Paul Stavish

Sending healing thoughts to Gregs family on the anniversary of Gregs passing .

Heard about Gregs passing yesterday from Kenneth Martin DC. Gregory was amazing and one of the great guys I met through being a Pasadena Jaycee. RIP my freind

Greg, I came to work for you in 1986, we quickly developed the morning routine of strong coffee while we discussed the day's plan. You gave me the opportunity to manage production at your Insta Print Company, where I developed the skills that later allowed me to open my own printing company, you taught me how to buy a home.

You helped me get my US Residency papers, guided me into volunteering with the JCs, You showed me how to be a good Republican although I am of Democratic beliefs. You taught me to save, and forced me to commit to a date when I would move into my own house, I did and then purchased my first home in 1989 where my wife Ingrid and I raised our 4 children.

Greg, your friendship, mentoring, and guidance had a tremendous impact on my life. I will always be grateful for the time I got to spend with you. I benefited greatly from your selfless and generous guidance.

May you rest easy my friend, see you at the next one.

Greg, you were the best employer I ever had for 12 years. You welcomed me into your family and we became great friends. I will miss you, all those fun parties, and just hanging out with you and Cathy. May you RIP with your Dad, Mom and both brothers. Sending Lots and Lots of LOVE your way...

Greg! I first met you when I was 14 and a friend of Kitty's. You were the big brother, intimidating because you were so confident and successful. What a great life you lived, with your wonderful siblings (especially Kitty our Queen!). Love Linda McManus

You will be missed Greg. So many happy memories we´ve shared since we met in 1965! Not many 16 year olds would be caught driving around all those kids in that station wagon in California. You always made me laugh and feel loved. Hope the manhattans are flowing in heaven!

We met Greg through our dear friend and his sister Cathy. We spent many lovely hours and drinks together whenever we were visiting CDA.
We didn't always agree with each other but both Terry and I are proud to call him our friend. Rest in peace Greg, see you again some day when we can share a tipple and a story together.

My wonderful brother & best friend! Will never forget all our fantastic memories we shared in our lifetime! I will see you again in our next lifetime! I love you! Kitten

Greg and I did not always see "eye to eye" in our early relationship in Jaycees (laughter), but as the years passed we became friends and fellow Idahoans.

Today I am privileged to carry on his legacy in the California Jaycee Foundation, which he started and I am honored to lead. His efforts to make difference in the lives of others continue today as the Foundation supports chapters, community service activities, and scholarships for Californians. Greg oft quoted authors and speakers he admired. So my friend, in keeping with your pattern I offer this:

Leo Rosten, an American Humorist said "THE PURPOSE OF LIFE is not to be happy. The purpose of life is to matter, to be productive, to have it make some difference that you lived at all".

Greg's life made a difference and continues to matter.

Farewell my friend, we'll take it from here.

Greg was always smiling, & always welcoming whenever we visited his partner in crime- Cathy-& my brother John. So full of life and joy. What a beautiful tribute was written about him. Our deepest sympathies to your entire family Greg. You are SO going to be missed. Kathi,Cleve, Danielle & Jacob Hummell

We are very deeply sorry for your loss. Even though I just connected with him last year, we wanted to come visit with you all as soon as we were able.

I'm so glad I got to know a little about our cousin and still hope to see his hometown one day.

I am so blessed I had the opportunity to know Greg. Though I wish I had known him better. I greatly enjoyed our conversation on messenger. Mostly about our children and grandchildren and how much he loved them. His love for his sister Cathy was endless too.
Rest easy my friend. You will forever be in our hearts. My love and sympathy to the beautiful family you left behind
