Gregory James Hendges, 57, of Traverse City passed away on January 31st 2019.
Greg was born on January 23rd 1962 to Fred and Mary (Fritz) Hendges and he was the youngest of three brothers. He lived his entire life in Traverse City. He worked at GJ's Pizza for 40 years, starting as a young boy. He saw the store through many changes and developed friendships that lasted a lifetime.
He was a great cook and enjoyed having get togethers at the farm. He loved hunting, fishing and the outdoors. Greg made several trips to Eleuthera Bahamas fishing, Colorado Elk hunting, Quebec Caribou hunting, Montana site seeing, trips to the UP and many deer camps at the farm with family and friends. Greg was also one of the founding members of Ducks Unlimited in Fife Lake.
Greg was very giving in nature and helped many people over the years. It was not uncommon for Greg to give everything he had and go without himself to help someone in need.
Those left behind to honor his memory are his mother Mary; brothers Randy (Patricia) and David (Valerie); nephews and nieces Jeremy, Erin, Tanya, Eric, Jason, Christa, Justin, Hannah, Tiffany, Ben; and great nephews and nieces or the little Ones as Greg called them Cameron, Carter, Leo, Fiona, Everett, Garrett, Beckett.
