Gregory J. Pennell, Sr., Age 73, of Plum, formerly of Boswell, PA, passed away peacefully at home on February 6, 2025.
Greg had a passion for the open road, finding freedom and joy in riding his Harley Davidson with his wife and best friend, Karen. He loved the outdoors, winding through the mountains and taking in the beauty of the journey-especially on rides to Ohiopyle. Each year, he and Karen made cherished memories traveling to Myrtle Beach for Bike Week, dodging raindrops and soaking in the scenery. When he wasn't on the road, Greg enjoyed listening to rock and country music and, most of all, spending time with his children and grandchildren.
He is survived by his loving wife of nine years, Karen; his devoted son, Greg Jr., and his wife, Amy; and his stepson, Connor Smith. He was a proud grandfather to Mikayla and Mya Pennell. Greg was preceded in death by his parents, James and Rose Pennell, as well as his brothers, Doug and Pete Pennell.
Private arrangements were entrusted to Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care, Robinson Township, PA. In Greg's memory, contributions may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at https://stjude.org.
