Gregory J. Palluck

Gregory Palluck, 85, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend whose greatest joy in life was his family.

For 61 years, he shared his life with his beloved wife, April. Together, they built a life filled with love, family, memories, and countless moments that will be cherished forever.

He was a strong man in every sense of the word. In his last years he bravely battled COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and congestive heart failure. Even through the challenges of illness, he continued to fight with the strength and determination that defined him. He was a true warrior who never stopped fighting for the people he loved.

His greatest pride was his family.

He was a devoted husband for 61 years to April (nee Haas) Palluck, loving father to Cheryl (Jim) Carter, Joseph (Gina) Palluck and Stacy (Paul) Seifert, a cherished grandfather to Josh, Matt, Eric, Aubrey, Grace, and Ian, and an adoring great grandfather to Aspen; dear brother to Robert (Marion) Paluck. He loved each of them without boundaries and in his own special way made each one feel important, loved, and part of something bigger than themselves.

He leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue through his children and grandchildren. The lessons he taught, the stories he shared, the laughter he brought, and the love he gave will remain with his family for generations to come.

He will be remembered not only for the years he lived, but for the lives he touched and the love and laughter he gave so freely. His family will miss his presence more than words can express, but they will carry him with them—in their hearts, in their memories, and in the love, they share with one another.

Greg was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Rosalie (nee Koczmicki) Palluck.

He was deeply loved. He fought bravely. He lived a long and meaningful life. And he will never be forgotten.
