Obituary for Gregory Liljedahl
A gentle soul passed into the hands of his Father April 28, 2022. He was surrounded by family; his beloved wife of 51 years Mary, his children Sarah, Eric (Maureen) and Mark (Bridget), his brothers Bob (Janet) and Tom. Greg was born in Hartford, Connecticut on October 1, 1948 to Nels and Ellen Liljedahl of Avon, Connecticut. Greg’s world revolved around his beautiful grandchildren Crosby, Camille, Brady and Abel. They filled his life with games, joy and humor.
Greg was a graduate of the University of Wisconsin School of Mechanical Engineering. He was an avid Badger fan and loved Uconn Huskie Women’s Basketball. Greg retired from GE as a global warming expert in 2015. He was known for his work ethic, organization and humble social dynamics.
Greg’s short life was full of family first, good friends and neighbors; and projects big and small. Golfing with Greg was a pleasure and his conversation was always encouraging.
His family wishes to thank the ER and the 5th floor ICU medical staff of St. Francis Hospital for their kindness and professional care.
A reception for friends and family of Greg will be held Wednesday, May 4th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Parish Center in Simsbury, Connecticut. A private religious service will be held at a later date.
