Gregory Edward Poth

Greg was born in Cincinnati, OH, and was always proud of his ‘Buckeye’ roots!

His Degrees in Aerospace Engineering, and Law . . . . . B.S.AsE University of Cincinnati (1975), M.S.AsE University of Dayton (1984), Juris Doctor Thomas Jefferson College of Law, San Diego, CA (1995), and Member of the State Bar of California (1995 -2023) . . . . . provided a pathway to a 39 year career. It all began at the Flight Dynamics Laboratory (1975-1985) at WPAFB in Dayton, OH, . . . and continued at Aerojet (1985-2014) in Sacramento CA. In the world of Aerospace, Greg’s numerous accomplishments, awards, recognition, etc. are many . . . and his reply to this was . . . ‘Truly God’s Blessing’.

Greg so treasured his wife of 52 years, Karen. His joy was watching his girls, Jennifer and Natalie, and their families pursuing their dreams. Over the years he enjoyed traveling, playing guitar, golf, bowling, cooking . . . and seeking out ‘New Adventures’. . . Oh Yes!

Greg was ‘Living his dream’ in Retirement! Sprinting was his sport . . . and joined the Southwest Ohio Track Club. Senior Sprinting competitions at various events took Greg and Karen traveling, and creating new memories that were also shared with our family. His Sprinting competitions were in his age group (70-74), and Greg won a number of medals in the 60, 100, 200, 400 meter races.

June 1, 2023, Greg had his last ‘Sprint’ on this earth . . . and his next ‘Sprint’, passing quickly, into the arms of Jesus whom he so loved. Our family is so missing our

Greg/Dad/Boppa beyond words . . . and so cherish the footprints he left in our lives as well as the lives of so many others. Love Never Dies ❤️
