In Loving Memory: Gregory A. Nichols (1960-2019)
On Sunday, January 13, 2019, Gregory A. Nichols, aged 58, bid farewell to this world at University Hospital in Cleveland. Born on August 24, 1960, in Euclid, Greg’s roots ran deep in the fabric of Lake County. A lifetime resident of the area, he leaves behind a legacy of love, generosity, and shared moments that will forever echo in the hearts of those who knew him.
A Lifetime Resident: Lake County’s Own
Greg’s connection to Lake County was more than just geographical; it was a part of his identity. Having been a lifetime resident, he not only witnessed the changes in the landscape but actively contributed to the community spirit that defines the region.
Gift of Sight: A Lasting Legacy of Generosity
In a remarkable act of generosity, Greg bestowed the gift of sight upon others through a donation to the Cleveland Life Banc. This selfless act, contributing to the well-being of others even in his passing, encapsulates the spirit of a man who believed in making a positive impact on the lives of those around him. Greg’s zest for life was evident in his passions. Whether casting a line into the tranquil waters or cruising on his Harley, he found joy in the simple yet profound pleasures of life. An avid angler, he embraced the serenity of fishing, allowing the rhythmic sounds of nature to guide his thoughts.
A Loving Family Man: Nicki (Phil) Housley
At the core of Greg’s heart was his family. He was the loving father of Nicki (Phil) Housley, and his role as a father was undoubtedly a source of immense pride and joy. The bonds of family, woven through shared experiences and love, remain an enduring part of his legacy. Beyond his role as a father, Greg held significant roles in the lives of others. He was the former husband of Diana L. Hollander, the uncle of Zachary Nichols and Jeremy Nichols, and a cherished friend to Cherie L. Cirino. These relationships bear witness to a man who valued connections, forming bonds that transcended familial ties.
A Life Remembered: A Tribute to Joseph G. and Barbara A. Nichols
The Nichols family faced previous losses, and Greg was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph G. and Barbara A. Nichols. The impact of these familial departures adds layers to the celebration of Greg’s life, highlighting the strength and resilience with which he faced the ebb and flow of life. In addition to his parents, Greg was preceded in death by his brother, Joseph Nichols, and niece, Jessica Nichols. The Celebration of Life serves not only as a tribute to Greg but also as an opportunity to honor the memories of those who walked alongside him on this earthly journey.
Friends and Community: A Gathering of Hearts
As the Celebration of Life services approach, friends and members of the community are invited to join in remembrance. The church doors will open at 10 a.m., providing a space for the gathering of hearts to share stories, offer condolences, and find solace in the collective embrace of those who knew and loved Greg. Following the Celebration of Life, a private burial will take place. In lieu of flowers, Greg’s family has suggested donations in his name to the Deepwood Run. These contributions will serve as a living tribute, echoing Greg’s spirit of generosity and community support.
In Closing: A Shared Farewell
As we bid farewell to Gregory A. Nichols, let the Celebration of Life be a testament to a life well-lived, a life that left an imprint on the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. May the shared memories, laughter, and tears provide comfort to those in mourning and serve as a beacon of light in the collective remembrance of a man who lived with passion and purpose.
