Greg Davies

First born and only son of Richard and Delores (Fayas) Davies, Greg entered the world on August 23, 1952. He left us on April 2, 2023 at the age of 70. Favorite brother of Dr. Jill Davies (Nate Kern), Anne Davies and Eve Pfitzinger. Crazy uncle to Keanen and Evan Kern (Alana Whitlock), Alaric (Angelica), Blaise and Camber Pfitzinger and Anna-Lena. Proud left-handed grand-uncle to Landon, Raylan and Addie Kern; Cynan, Owain, Payton, Evie and Sophia Pfitzinger. Dog Dad to American Pitbull Terrier Sophie. Graduated from Preble High School (1970); studied Foolishness at UW-Green Bay 1970- 1971 (according to his FB profile), Bus Admin at UW-Eau Claire 1973 – 1976, Data Processing at Chippewa Valley Tech 1977-1978 and Accounting at Northeast Wisconsin Tech 2007-2010. Worked at Schreiber Foods as a computer operator for 25 years. Greg raised fish (African Cichlids) for many years and taught his nephews Latin fish names (they still remember Juliochromis dichfildi). Raised in a musical family, he added the booming baritone voice and played trumpet. Greg was born with a photographic memory and analytical mind. Fortunately, he recognized that his sisters were as smart as he was, but that didn’t stop him from refusing to listen to our common sense (he ran short in that department, as well as social skills and patience). He had his favorite jokes, which he told repeatedly. His hearing was mostly gone for the last 30 years, which made conversations “interesting” and LOUD. Greg was an audiophile, voracious reader, motorcycle rider, plant doctor and vertical gardener extraordinaire. He excelled at baking cheese cake and fruit pies and was known for his extensive vocabulary. Starting in his early years, he enjoyed rummage sales and flirting with “cute waitresses” at his favorite restaurants (including Bayview Family Restaurant). Among items he collected are recipe (and other) books, matchbooks and vinyl record albums. Greg was a loyal, generous, funny and fun guy. Greg never fully recovered from a hemorrhagic stroke in 2013. The next stroke in March 2023 was too much for his body to bounce back. Because he carried a signed organ donor card, 30-60 others will benefit from our loss. Pre-deceased by parents, grandparents Nelson and Helen (Blackman) Davies, Henry and Laura (Flavian) Fayas; niece Chandra Pfitzinger; grand-nephew Cameron Kern; aunts and uncles. Very best friends, dogs P.S., Josh, Josie, Rosie Beagle & LeRoy. Please join us on Sunday May 7, 2023 at 2:00 PM for visitation at Graceway Fellowship, 1750 Dousman Ave in Green Bay. A memorial service will follow at 4:00 PM. Due to family allergies, please, no flowers at the church. A memorial fund has been established. We’d love to pawn off, we mean “share” Greg’s cookbook collection with friends and family who attend. Special thanks to Dr. Tom Smith (St. Vincent Hospital) and Dr. Al-Khalise (Bellin Hospital~ who also saved Jill's life 2 years ago) and many thanks to Redeemer Lutheran Church, St. Matthew Orthodox Church, Graceway Fellowship (all in Green Bay), Country Bible Church (Casco, WI), family and friends all over the world, for their love and awesome prayer support for Greg and our family.
