William Gresh, Jr.

William E. Gresh, Jr., age 47, of Holmes, PA, passed away on February 26, 2020. Born in Erie, PA, he was the son of Alice R. Gresh (nee Sybyl) and the late William E. Gresh, Sr.

Bill’s greatest times came from spending time with family and friends. He had a laugh that would fill the room and would do anything for anybody. He was happiest when he was gardening and running. He ran two marathons and many other races. He always took pride in his bountiful crop of cucumbers, corn, garlic, and tomatoes. He was a two time reigning champion for best tasting tomato. At Thanksgiving, he had a tradition of ordering 100 pounds of cabbage to make into sauerkraut. In the fall, he looked forward to his annual visit to Alleghany College during Homecoming Week. At Christmas, the bigger the tree the better. He valued traditions and looked forward to them.

Bill was the beloved husband of Jennifer L. Gresh (nee Greller); loving brother of Timothy Gresh (Kelly Hinkle) and George Gresh (Kelly Kilmer); caring uncle of Madison, Carter, Abigail, Caleb, Jonathan, and Cortlyn.

Relatives and friends are invited to his Visitation Friday, March 6, 2020  9:30-11:00 AM at The Knoetgen-Donohue Funeral Home, 746 Kedron Ave, Morton, PA 19070, followed by his Funeral Service at 11:00 AM.
