Gregory Earl Milligan, 72, Florida
June 25, 1949 – April 07, 2022
Gregory Earl Milligan, age 72, passed away April 7, 2022 at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital.
Greg was born June 25, 1949 in Cambridge, Massachusetts to the late Howard E Milligan and Lucille J Bassett. He spent most of his life between Massachusetts and Maine, then happily retired to Florida in 2019.
Greg worked as a police officer starting in Massachusetts then moved to the force in Yarmouth, Maine. He joined Volk Packaging in 1982 as a sales representative and retired in the same status, although he did serve as sales manager for almost 10 years during his time with the company. Volk Packaging meant a lot to Greg, so much so that he took his beloved wife, Sue, to the Volk Packaging 5-Year Club Party for their first date.
Greg was a devoted husband to Sue for an amazing 32 years, an outstanding father to Daniel, Joshua, and Kimberly, a wonderful father-in-law to Lori, Robyn, and RJ, and a loving grandfather to Megan, Drew, and Madison. He was excited for another granddaughter, Nora, who is coming in August. He was also a great brother to Brian and Cynthia, a caring brother-in-law to Stephanie and Raymond, and an amazing uncle, cousin, and friend to many more.
When Greg was not working he was spending time hunting, fishing, golfing, or traveling with family and/or friends. He was a true family man and the best friend anyone could ask for. He would give the shirt off his back and more. Greg was full of life and lit up a room wherever he went. No matter who it was he put a smile on their face. Greg will be greatly missed by so many.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Loyal Order of Moose located at 562 Broadway, Malden, Massachusetts 02148, on May 7th, 2022, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
