Gregory Dick Obituary
Gregory (Gregg) Richard Dick, 74, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away peacefully on October 19, 2023 at the Hospice House of Northwest Ohio. Born in Toledo on June 15, 1949, to Richard and Jane (Reis) Dick. He graduated from Whitmer High School in 1968 and attended the University of Toledo. After college, he served honorably in the Army Reserves.
Gregg was a dedicated entrepreneur who owned several successful businesses throughout his lifetime. Up until his passing, he proudly owned and worked at Gemini Metals. He spent the majority of his working life in the steel sector.
His bright blue eyes twinkled whenever he saw a familiar face. It was also his favorite color, one he often wore with pride while cheering on his favorite sports teams, from the UT Rockets to the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Lions.
He found solace in the landscapes of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, enjoying golf and fishing, often sharing his humor and love of practical jokes that brought laughter and joy to all who knew him. He cherished singing classic country songs, such as those by Merle Haggard and found joy in the timeless melodies that spoke to his heart.
Gregg cherished the many moments he spent with family and friends. He had a magnetic personality, a generous spirit, and an unwavering positive outlook on life. He believed in moving forward, embracing each day with a smile, and sharing optimism with those around him.
Preceded in death by his beloved parents; and siblings, Linda and Danny; he leaves behind sisters, Bev Dick and Becky Snider (Jeff); brother, Tom Dick; children, Heather Harrington (Jay) and Bryan Dick (Rachel Trumbo); and grandchildren, Madison, Emma, Kinsey Harrington, Kaden Williams, and Bryson Trumbo. He leaves a legacy of love and laughter.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 4, 2023, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 310 Elizabeth Street, Maumee, OH, 43537, with a reception in the fellowship hall. In lieu of flowers, donations in Gregg's memory may be made to The Rocket Fund, supporting student-athletes.
We will remember Gregg for his love of life, indomitable spirit, and the lasting memories he created. He will be deeply missed by all whose lives he touched.

Such a beautifully written eulogy for a good man. As childhood friends with Bryan, I spent many days and nights in their home with Gregg, Donna, Heather and Bryan. I´m so thankful for those moments and life memories. My sincere condolences to all his family and those who have loved him. Rest is Heaven Mr.Dick.
