Gregory Boyer Obituary
A 1983 graduate of William Allen H.S. and 1987 graduate of Bloomsburg University, he worked for Ice City for 13 years. Later Greg owned the Symphony Café for a few years before working for Davis Beverage. Ultimately, he worked for the US Postal Service in the Allentown branch retiring in July of 2020 with 20 years of service.
Never one to let you see him sweat the difficulties of his disease, Greg was a regular at Wind Creek until just a week before his passing. He loved to travel (most destinations had a casino attached), go to comedy shows and spend time around his pool with friends. His kitties Parker and Pete were very important to him.
He is survived by his husband and partner of 19 years Joseph Cade, sister Sandi Minarovic (Tim), brother Brooks (Karen) and five nieces and nephews – Stephanie, Lauren, Tommy, Greg and Jeffrey. He was predeceased by his parents and sister Bonnie Muller (Tom).
Services have been entrusted to the Nicos C. Elias Funeral Home, 1227 W. Hamilton Street, Allentown, where a memorial service will take place on Thursday, August 5th at 11 a.m. with a greeting time from 10-11 a.m. Directions at: www.AllentownFunerals.com.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Greg's name can be made to the Lehigh County Humane Society, 640 Dixon Street, Allentown, PA 18103.
Fly high Greg, you were one of the great ones!

I am so sorry to hear of Greg's passing. He and I were Allen HS classmates, and lived a few houses apart growing up. I have lots of good memories as friends from that time. Rest in peace.

Dear sweet Greg,
You will be missed so much. Your kindness, gentleness, empathy, strength of character and love for all creatures, will always be remembered with love and affection. Will miss that beautiful smile of yours most of all!
So glad we had the chance to speak one last time and to hear your optimistic and practical reasoning. We knew the day would eventually come, but somewhere in the category of hope, we always prayed it wouldn't.
My condolences to Joe, your family and Pete & Parker, who will miss you most of all.
All my love,
Leah

Greg, the world is less bright with your passing. You were such a great friend to me during our years at university and it was great to see you and meet Joey in Vegas before we moved to Australia. You will be missed by the many people whose lives are better for knowing you. Love you, my friend. Terry

I'm grateful for the times we shared. We loved getting to show you a little bit of Alaska, and enjoyed you showing us the ropes in Vegas. You were always gracious and welcoming to Anthony and I. Your spirit will live on in the memories we all share. Journey well and get a jackpot or two along the way. Godspeed.
