IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Gregory T.
Krikorian
July 26, 1957 – July 15, 2022
Age 64
Loving father of Erika (Jake) Krikorian, Cherished grandfather of Kambree and Waylon. Dear brother of Guy (Jenny). Uncle of Sergio (Bridget) Olivito, and Julian Krikorian. Great uncle of Giovanni, and Amelia. Nephew of Gladys Krikorian. Also survived by those who were lucky enough to call themselves his friends.
Greg spent most of his adult life working for US Steel at Ford Motor Company, as a master electrician. He was keen to complete any task in front of him & was always out to prove his way was not only the best way, but the only way a job should be done. He always made himself available to friends & family, none more-so than his beloved Auntie. Whether it was grocery shopping during the Corona Virus scare, inspecting a running toilet, washing machine or even to check on the health of a bush that no longer looked symmetrical to neighboring shrubs. Like his father & aunt before, Greg did nearly everything in his power to keep his home & life as organized as possible. From the impeccable polished chrome on his Harley Davidson, to the constant wiping down of his newest to, the Shelby Cobra sitting in the garage that he was so proud to call his own after retirement. Another example of Greg's ability to put his signature touch on everything he did, would be the work he put into his brother Guys property up north. Shortly before his retirement & certainly every week after his retirement, Greg poured tons of his time & energy into his brothers property. The place never looked so good in all its years prior to Greg's increased visits to it & may likely never be the same moving forward. His work just leaves an impression on everyone lucky enough to lay witness to his passion for perfection in his tireless work.
Its sad that Greg was not given enough time to enjoy all the perks of retirement we knew he so deserved. From finding himself at a stop light lined up with a Corvette, whilst out on a cruise in the Cobra to spending time up north erupting with joy every time someone new would join him with a drink by the fire. Greg was a man that was never afraid to speak his mind, tell you when you were wrong, but continue to be there for you if you weren't afraid to do things the right way – check that, his way. Greg rarely turned his back on a problem & left it for someone else to deal with, he would simply do it & then let you know he did what you were not willing to do, simply because it needed to be done.
