Goodbye to Greg Piasecki
Friends,

It is with great sadness that I report that Greg Piasecki passed away at 5:40 pm Tuesday. His passing was for the most part peaceful. While this is a tragedy losing Greg so young, his wife, Mary Pat was ready for his suffering to end.

Many of you no doubt knew Greg better than I, but I really enjoyed getting to know him better these last few months. He fought his fight against cancer as valiantly as his fight against Marijuana Prohibition. In death Greg will continue to inspire me (and hopefully others) to do what I can to end this injustice.

I believe the memorial service will be in a few weeks. I will continue to pass along info as it becomes available to me.

Somberly yours,

Neil

GREGORY SCOTT PIASECKI
Gregory Scott Piasecki passed away on April 6, 2010 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 42.

Born on Feb. 4, 1968 in Hammond, IN, Greg grew up in Rochester, MI. A graduate of Oakland University, he worked at the Palace of Auburn Hills for over 19 years, and also the Meadow Brook Theatre as a Production Manager and carpenter.

Greg was the President of Oakland County NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws). Greg established the chapter and was able to successfully run one of the most active NORML chapters in the State of Michigan. He was the 2009 Michigan NORML Director of the Year.

Greg always had a kind word to say and very rarely met anyone that he did not like. He found pleasure from helping others, and even during his illness, remained upbeat. He always exhibited a quiet decency and had a smile for strangers and friends alike. His kind spirit will be greatly missed by all.

He is survived by his wife Mary Pat Clark; parents Bernard and JoAnne Piasecki of Holly; brothers, Bryan (Allison) Piasecki; Jeff (Hollie Bracken) Piasecki; nephew Jonathan; and nieces Hannah and Maezhen; good friend Lynn Granville.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, April 26 at Meadow Brook Theatre, 207 Wilson Hall, Oakland University, Rochester. Memorial donations may be made to the Meadow Brook Theatre, Oakland County NORML, Caring Bridge or Hospice of Michigan.
