Gregory D Yorke

A custom-printer his whole life, Greg was always found tinkering about after retiring. He never liked to sit still for too long and would often enjoy going on bike rides around the neighborhood.

He was an intelligent individual who enjoyed a variety of activities. From gardening in the backyard to sewing and clothing alterations on his mom’s antique sewing machine, he was a man of many talents. No task was too big and he was always able to come up with a solution for any problem. This showed in his love for fixing bikes and building model houses. From Columbo to true crime documentaries, he also loved trying to solve a good mystery.

“Mr. Gregory” (as he liked to be called) loved a backyard bbq all year-long and listening to his ‘tunes’ loud and proud. He was fascinated with the Titanic and loved to share his theories on the disaster. Greg was always able to find the fun in every circumstance, even if it meant telling a corny joke. His belly laugh was infectious and he never took himself too seriously. His passion was contagious and he was always chasing a dream; making each day count.

Gregory is survived by his family Frances, Jennifer and Ford as well as Jack, Henry and Annie who will all miss their Papy fiercely.
