Gregory S. "Greg" Currier's Obituary
Gregory (Greg) S. Currier, 77, of Chittenango, NY, passed away peacefully at home on January 11, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Schenectady, NY, son of the late Frank and June (Edson) Currier. Greg graduated from Guilderland Central High School, Hudson Valley CC, SUNY ESF, receiving a BS in Forest Biology and MS in Soils. He served in the US Naval Reserves aboard the USS Saratoga, serving as a Radarman. Greg began his career with the USDA NRCS, retiring after 35 years as a District Conservationist. After, he worked as an Environmental inspector for several PA Natural Gas Pipeline Companies. He was an avid hunter and fisherman who enjoyed spending time in the Adirondack Mountains with his two sons. In his later years, he enjoyed watching his grandchildren’s sporting events, while spending time fulfilling his lifelong dream of living on the lake with his family.
