Greg spent a joyous Christmas surrounded by his loving family and his cherished sheepdog, Camus, before passing peacefully in Port Huron, Michigan.
Born on March 24, 1948 in Helena, Montana to parents Lt. Colonel Stewart Spencer and Helen Greene Spencer, Greg and his five siblings Marshall, Ernie, Allen, Fay and Heidi experienced the world living abroad on military bases stretching from Germany to Hawaii., with their longest stay in Washington, D.C.
He met his wife Marijo in Latin Class at Michigan State University, in East Lansing, Michigan. Both Spartans for life, East Lansing would be the place where they would later build a family and make their home. Marijo was the love of his life for 52 years.
Gregs's life was defined by his warmth and his ability to form genuine bonds with people from all walks of life. His warm smile and soft blue eyes were always a welcome addition to any gathering. Greg is survived by his wife Marijo, children Sarah married to George, Shannon married to Michael, grandchildren Helen and Harry, Joshua married to Ammy and youngest son Jake.
Greg always made people feel welcome. His warm smile and soft blue eyes won everyone's heart. The family wishes to include and celebrate together in the spring at a memorial and celebration of life. Details to come. For now a small visitation and burial will be held on Monday, December 30, 2024 in Lexington, Michigan a the Pomeroy Funeral Home and Spring Hill Cemetery in Fargo, Michigan at the family plot next to his parents and younger sister Heidi. Greg's legacy of love, kindness and creativity will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Nancy and I were blessed with over 20 years as Greg's neighbor. The warmth and richness of many conversation with Greg (often with a dog in play) will be remembered. Our love to Marijo and the entire family at this loss.

Mr. Greg was an absolute treasure. He brought a smile to everyone's face every single day. He was kind and funny and warm. Our Marble and MMS school communities were so lucky to have had him as a crossing guard. I wish the world had more Mr. Gregs. He was an absolute light.

Mr. Greg always had something cleaver to share early in the morning even if it was freezing out. The kids said, " ya he almost tricked me, he's silly! "

Greg was the neighbor of a friend, and always had a ready smile and a story to tell. He was also loved by many in my neighborhood whose kids he helped cross the street safely on their way to school. He will be greatly missed.
