Gregory Vandersommen Obituary
Greg was called home after a 2 year, very courageous, battle with cancer. He is a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, church member, co-worker, coach and friend to many. Greg was happiest when he was spending time with his very large family. He loved to cook big family dinners, which he did until his last day on this earth.
He enjoyed seeing his house full of people at all times. When he wasn't planning dinners for his family, he enjoyed talking. His love for speaking helped him in his beloved profession as a salesman. He enjoyed coaching his son's baseball and football teams. He could regularly be found helping anyone in need. Greg's love for westerns led him all over the Western United States.
He spent extensive time in Colorado and in Arizona, where he met the love of his life, eternal companion and beloved wife, Roberta. Greg was a faithful servant of the Lord with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Lorain, Ohio. He felt blessed to fulfill many duties as a member of the church.
