NORTHFIELD — Gregory David Lemnah, 63, of Brandon and Northfield, passed away on Christmas Day in Northfield, following a long illness. Greg was the fifth child of the late Robert and Myra (Knapp) Lemnah, born July 3, 1961 in Proctor. He graduated from Otter Valley Union HS with the Class of 1979, where he was an accomplished soccer player and also played hockey. While still in high school, Greg began plumbing with his brother-in-law, Tom Ransom. This craft served him well. He earned his Master Plumber’s license and he practiced it until he retired from UL 693 Plumbers and Pipefitters of South Burlington in 2020. Greg loved fishing, deer camp, snowmobiling, golf, camp at Echo Lake, playing cards, and helping people. He was absolutely the most stubborn, but kindest, most generous person one could know. Greg leaves his children, Greer Gogolos (Christopher) of Merrimac, MA and Robert (Drew Pelchar) of Waterbury, VT, and one granddaughter, Sophie Gogolos; his former wife, Beth; his five siblings and their spouses, Susan Bessemer (Jeff), Lansing, NY; Gail Ransom (Tom), of Pittsford; Robert (Monica) of Clinton, Utah; Patrick (Karen), of Manchester, VT; and Liann French (PJ) of Forestdale; as well as sisters-in-law Stacey (David) Whaley, Northfield and Kelsey Bussiere (Jason), Merritt Island, FL and brother-in-law David Pope (Jen) of Limington, ME; and several nieces and nephews. Greg also leaves many cousins and friends, and his dear friend, Don Houle, of Brandon. With apologies to Greg’s snowmobiling and ice fishing friends, his immediate family invites you to join them at the Miller and Ketcham Funeral Home in Brandon on January 11 from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Gregory chose to be cremated. Greg’s family would like to thank Ashley Hudson and the Four Seasons Care Home for welcoming Greg and making him comfortable during his stay there; Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice for their gentle care; and Dr. Gordon Geig and his staff of Brandon for their kind attention, as well. Arrangements are under the direction of The Kingston and Miller and Ketcham Funeral Homes of Northfield and Brandon, respectively.
