Greg "Shuggy" Minkowski, earned his wings December 8, 2020 surrounded by his wife and two daughters. He was born on October 3, 1950 to Stanley and Alice Minkowski in Toledo, Ohio. Greg was a transport engineer for many years until retiring. He enjoyed camping, taking vacations with his wife and riding his Harley with friends. Greg was an avid collector of guns and RC cars. He also built and raced RC cars often with his brother Chet; one of his favorite pastimes. Greg was a huge fan of classic cars. He was always feeding the squirrels and loved his dogs. Greg had a great sense of humor that will be remembered by all. His family was his world; he lived for them. Greg's wife was his soul mate and best friend, and their marriage was one of a kind; he was her biggest protector. His daughter's and grandchildren were also one of the most important things to him. Greg was the best Dzia Dzia. His smile, spirit and caring nature will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him.
