Gregory Roytek
April 28, 1949 — February 2, 2022
Gregory Roytek, age 72, resident of Wauseon, Ohio, passed away on Wednesday, February 2, 2022, at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born on April 28, 1949, in Toledo, Ohio, to the late Bernard and Bernice (Greenaway) Roytek.
A graduate of Start High School, he went on to work at Walker Ambulance as an EMT. From there, he went to Chilly Things as a truck driver and had retired at Chrysler for 18 years. Greg had a passion for trains; he loved everything about them. His interest came from his father working on the railroad. A lover for outdoors, he enjoyed fishing, camping, and mowing the lawn. Greg enjoyed playing cards and Pac-Man, listening to Doo-Wop, Elvis, traveling with his family, watching Notre Dame and the Detroit Tigers. With never having a lesson, Greg played the violin and guitar very well. Greg loved eating pizza and drinking root beer. His family will miss his famous pancakes, "Poppies Pancakes", where his grandchildren would look forward to them every morning. Greg was very social with a great sense of humor; he would ask anyone he saw if they could scratch his back; always leaving someone with a smile. He coached his daughters softball teams and played catch them with. He and his two daughters would also catch night crawlers in the middle of the night; memories that they will forever cherish. Known as being very adventurous, he loved riding go karts, four wheelers, and golf cart. The memories that were made with his friends and family will be something they will cherish forever.
Those left to forever cherish his memory are his two loving daughters, Jenny (Sam Dahlke) Roytek and Melissa (Danny Rome) Roytek; grandchildren, Gregory, Gavin, Danny, and Haley; special friend and soulmate, Pam Roytek; brother, Jeff Roytek; and a special niece, Megan (Jay) Rork.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Gary Roytek; and an Aunt, Helen Heitman.
