Greg Wool Obituary

East Lyme - Our hearts are forever broken, as we share the sudden passing of Greg Michael Wool, Jan. 14, 2025. Greg was born in Hackensack, N.J., Feb. 27, 1980. He was a graduate of the American University in Washington, D.C. He was employed in both merchant services and political fundraising.

People were naturally drawn to Greg, and he brightened every room he entered with his smile and infectious laugh. Greg greeted every person he met with warmth and kindness. He never missed a chance to lend a helping hand if needed.

He will be deeply missed by his parents, Debra and Gary; his brother Matt; his loving aunts and uncles, cousins, and friends. We are all devastated by the fact that they can no longer pick up the phone and hear his laughter and newest story. Greg was adored by his grandparents, Henry and Arleen Berliner and Morton and Min Wool, with whom we know Greg has reunited.

A funeral service will be held in the chapel of Sharon Memorial Park, 120 Canton Street, Sharon, Mass., on a date and time to be announced. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (www.stjude.com), in perfect alignment with Greg's desire to help those in need. Condolences may be shared on Greg's memorial page on www.neilanfuneralhome.com.

Our condolences to the Wool family. I met Greg in college; he was one of my brother´s best friends. He was a light to all. His friendship knew no bounds. He was always trying his best to get everyone to have a good time, no matter the circumstance.

Rest in peace, Greg. I pray for your soul and peace and healing for all of your loved ones.

Prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time. I only knew Greg for a few months from Pooler, but had such energetic and passion for what he did. Rest in peace Greg.
