Gregory Vogelsperger Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Pedersen Ryberg Funeral Home on Sep. 4, 2023.
Gregory Carl Vogelsperger, 51, passed away on August 31, 2023. Greg was born to George and Patricia Vogelsperger on February 14, 1972, in Astoria, Queens. He was raised in Farmingdale and Chappaqua, NY, graduated from the College of the Holy Cross, and went on to earn his JD from the University of Chicago. He married his best friend, Terri, in 1994 and together they raised 6 enthusiastic (and noisy) Mets fans.
While Greg held several exciting positions throughout his life, he considered his tenure in Boeing's Law Department to be the greatest privilege of his career. However, as important as his career was to him, he placed far greater value on the relationships in his life. Greg was a deeply devoted family man. He was a kind and thoughtful husband, father, colleague, and mentor who was steadfast in his convictions but possessed a self-effacing charm that was unfailingly disarming. Anyone who knew Greg (or was in earshot of him during a game!) knew well his devotion to the New York Mets, no matter how many times they raised his hopes and then crushed his dreams of another World Series Championship (or even a winning record!). Greg's most sincere wish for himself was simply to be remembered as a man who tried his hardest and loved God and his family above all, always.
Preceding Greg in death are his father, George, and his brother, Russell. He is survived by his loving wife, Terri; his children, Emily, Paul, John, Kate, Sara, and Matt; and his mother, Patricia Vogelsperger.
Donations in Greg's name to https://amazinmetsfoundation.org/ in lieu of flowers would be appreciated.

Greg is my nephew. He holds a special place in the hearts of myself, his Aunt Tina and my three children; his cousins who are all about the same age as Greg. As we mourn his passing, we all say the same things. How intelligent Greg was, but mostly remember his kindness, his laughter, and his big presence. We´ve been shedding many tears, but not just tears of sadness. Tears of joy for having each of our lives enriched by having Greg in our lives. He was one in a million.

Greg was a good friend and colleague and I enjoyed the time he and I spent together in Chicago at Boeing. I always especially enjoyed our ongoing debate about whether the Mets or the Braves would be the better team in the coming season. My thoughts and prayers are with the Vogelsperger family.

Greg was a treasured colleague and friend, and was admired and respected by all of us who worked with him and knew him. In the many challenging situations we confronted together over the last decade-plus, he never failed to maintain his composure and good humor, and stood out for his leadership even among a group of talented lawyers and leaders. Greg made a major impact on me personally, and I know I speak for all of us the Boeing Law Department when I say that he will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. I am so sorry for your loss.

Knew him only briefly and a little (not much), via the Ray Garrett Institute at Northwestern University. But I affirm that Gregory Vogelsperger was a gentleman and a scholar -- a lawyer's lawyer. A credit to the University of Chicago Law School, may he rest in peace. My sincere condolences to his family. -- Patrick Daugherty

I remember Greg as a very intelligent and engaged student of history at Holy Cross. I remember him too as a gentleman. I didn't know he had such a distinguished career. I'm so sorry for his early loss. If my memory can be trusted, I think I also remember you, Terri, and that you were also an excellent student. My condolences to you and your family. -Prof. Noel Cary
