Gary Michael Grisky
OLD LYME — It is with our deepest sadness that we announce the unexpected, but peaceful passing of our brother Gary Michael Grisky on the 24th of December, 2020. He was born April 17th, 1951 in New Jersey, but spent the majority of his life in Old Lyme, Connecticut. He is predeceased by his mother and father Joyce and Donald Grisky of Old Lyme, Conn.
He graduated from Old Lyme High School in 1969 and New England School of Art in 1972 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Family and friends meant everything to him. He is survived by his sisters Donelle Krajewski and her husband Michael Krajewski of Greer, South Carolina, and Mary Sterck and her husband Martin of Uebach-Palenberg, Germany; nieces Amanda van Liessum and her husband Maarten, and Catherine Lowery; his aunts, uncles, cousins, and his very special friends Fern and Michael Salkauskas.
Gary was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed fishing, clamming, and crabbing, and sharing his bounty with family and friends. He also loved listening to music and playing his guitar.
He will be missed for his great storytelling, friendship, and his beautiful smile. The world is a little less bright without our beloved brother.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
