From legacy.com: Gregory Paul Frontier of Waterford, Michigan, passed away on November 28, 2025, after a long illness. He was born on June 13, 1943, in Detroit, Michigan. He is survived by Patricia, his wife of 57 years, his three daughters Alison, Amy, and Sara, and nine grandchildren. A proud graduate of Seaholm High School and the University of Michigan, Greg always kept in touch with his Seaholm Class of 1962 classmates, enjoyed shouting "Go Blue" (at least when the team was performing to his standards), and golfing on courses across Michigan and beyond. But above all, his life was full of energetic devotion to his wife and their three daughters. His generous support for his daughters' interests and friends was boundless. In the summers, he loved hosting gatherings at Watkins Lake, patiently driving kids in circles as they learned to tube or waterski, and playing hearts on the screen porch with his daughters and their friends. The kids knew to be careful, or Dad would sneakily "shoot the moon." He also deeply cherished his time with his own parents, Frank and Peggy, and his four siblings, and he especially enjoyed reminiscing with them about childhood memories and time spent with cousins. After his retirement from a successful career in finance with first Burroughs and then Unisys, he spent countless hours volunteering for organizations he valued; he served for many years on the Watkins Lake Association Board, the Michigan Seniors Golf Association, and as a dedicated Seaholm Class of 1962 reunion organizer. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends, who remember his passion for landscape photography, stargazing, movies of all kinds, life on the golf course, and bringing people together with his humor and good cheer. We continue to remember him, his hard work and good nature, daily. We hope you have also found ways to cherish his friendship. There will not be a formal service, but the family encourages friends and family to celebrate Greg's life in their own way, whether it be by playing a round of golf, dealing a family game of hearts, keeping up a bird feeder, or cheering on your favorite sports team - preferably the Michigan Wolverines. The family also invites memorial donations to The Audubon Society. To order memorial trees or send flowers to the family in memory of Gregory Paul Frontier, please visit our flower store.

God's blessings to you Greg.  Loved getting together during high school and also studying with you now and then at Michigan.  You were one very serious student.  My condolences to your wife and family, and you are greatly missed by all who knew you.  Bob

Greg was a great friend during my 2 years at Seaholm. Upon graduation, he got me a summer job along with himself at Equipment Manufacturing in Warren, a welding factory that had an abysmal safety record. However, we both made it through the summer unscathed, and we remained in touch since. Our thoughts are with Patty and the family.

What a shock to see this.  Greg was always a go to guy and so appreciated for that.  I spent an afternoon at his and Pat's home by the lake...what a lovely time.  My heart goes out to you Pat, and your family.  Such a loss.  Such a lovely human being,.

So sorry for the loss of our class leader.  He was very genereous to share his time and family with us.  I'll root for the U of M and try my best at golf.

Greg and I were casual friends in high school, after which we parted ways, as I did with most of my high school friends, and ultimately the state of Michigan. Greg and I did reconnect because of his work on reunions, and through this websight we became virtual friends. I will miss him greatly, as I am sure many of you who knew him better also will. My sincerest condolences to Pat and his family.

I was so saddened to read about Greg's passing.  I have many fond memories of Greg in high school.  He was always a gentleman and a kind person.  My condolences to Patsy and the entire family!

I was surprised and saddened by the news that Greg died.   I extend my sincere sympathy to Pat and their family.    Greg (and Pat) have done so much - along with many others in our class - to keep us all in touch as we are able; and I'm most appreciative of all their work.    Hugs to Pat and your family.

When i went to Seaholm I don't remember much about Greg, but at the 50th i got to see what a class act he was.  We are all better off for his efforts.   TAKE CARE GREG, WHEVER YOU ARE.
