Greg W. Simpson died Thursday at home in South Abington Twp.
Born in Scranton, he was the son of the late June Tischler Simpson; and Dr. Roy W. Simpson and his wife, Gerri, Olyphant. Greg was a graduate of Abington Heights High School and Marywood University with a degree in special education. For many years he had worked at Still Meadow School and with group homes for Allied Services. He truly preferred working in his most recent occupation as an insurance agent.
Greg was known for his compassion and warmth and especially his great sense of humor. In his 20s, he was one of the better bowlers in the area with two sanctioned 300 games. He was a member of Elkview Country Club for many years and was an avid golfer, having registered two holes-in-one.
Also surviving are a brother, Stuart R. Simpson, South Abington Twp., with whom he resided; an uncle, Merle Tischler and wife, Nancy, Boulsburg; a step-brother, John Kranick; a step-sister, Barbara Giombetti; and many cousins.
He was also preceded in death by his grandparents; a brother, Kurt C. Simpson; aunts and uncles.
A graveside service will be held Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. at Abington Hills Cemetery, South Abington Twp.
Friends may call Monday from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Joseph's Center, 2010 Adams Ave., Scranton, PA 18509.
