Gregory J. Baron, 68, formerly of Dundee, passed away at home on March 28, 2018. He was born on September 29, 1949 in Evanston, the son of Walter and Wanda. He is survived by his beloved wife of 47 years, Ellen, brother David and Geoff, sons Scott (wife Terri and sons Christopher and George) and son Mark (wife Dena).
Greg took great pride in his life’s work in owning and operating a plastics manufacturer in Dundee, and later Cary. Greg retired in 2005 and split his time living in California and Chicago. Early retirement allowed Greg to do his favorite things- ride motorcycles across the country (he took particular pride in his 1947 Indian Chief), travel the world with his wife, and spend time with his family. He possessed natural talents rare in people these days, with the ability to fix anything. Mostly he will be remembered for having a heart of gold.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St Jude’s Children’s Hospital, one of his favorite charities due to having survived a rare childhood illness. Alternatively, donations can also be made to the Chicago-based Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation. Information: ELEMENTS, the cremation company, 855.550.5151, www.elementscremation.com.
