Obituary

Robert A. McGreevy, age 56, passed away at his home on September 10, 2010. Robert ‘Tony’ was born in Takoma Park, MD on January 9, 1954. He enjoyed golfing, tending to his day lilies, traveling, a carefree spirit, a hardy laugh and was always coming up with something new in the kitchen! Tony’s commitment to his work at Boeing spanned over 3 decades. Often remembered for his story and joke telling, Tony was a great friend to many people and he will continue to be missed for a very long time.

He is survived by his wife Lori McGreevy; mother, Anne Passarelli; father, Robert McGreevy; sister, Lynn Stokes; brothers, Larry, Victor and Michael McGreevy. The family welcomes you to their home on Sunday September 26th from 2pm – 7pm for an open house to celebrate and remember Tony’s life.

We loved Tony Mac’s bigger than life personality and outstanding sense of humor. We socialized, golfed and partied with him. We will truly miss him.

Our condolances to Lori and the rest of his family.

I learned a lot from my Brother Tony. He showed me how to laugh, be light hearted, enjoy the moment, and to love the family.

Thanks Big Brother. ~ Love Michael

Tony taught me to slow down, not be so serious and how to have fun.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

I will always remember and miss Tony. He was a good friend over the years. When I would see him I would always say “Hey handsome” and he would reply with “Hey girlie, whats up”. He taught me so much and encouraged me always. I am happy he and Laurie finally married. He had loved her for such a long time. I miss my friend and teacher.

“My Dear Brother Tony is departed of breath. I hope for my family and his friends that their hearts will heal and the good memories of Tony will remain fluid within them.

I cry when I ache, I laugh when I remember, I even get angry at this seeming unfairness aspect of life. But above all of this, I accept my loss and chose to remain in joy in having known my Brother’s love & spirit. I will miss him calling me “Baby Brother.”

I love you Tony.”

Dear sweet “Macdoodle” as I would call you. You will always be close to my heart and often thought of. You and Lori have been apart of the Puetz Family for a long time as far back as the kids can remember. I would like to thank you for all the great memories. By the way I’m still looking for a four leaf clover! My love always, T-bone Teda, Tony, Tabi, and Tyson Puetz

We’re going to miss you, Tony. We recognized your absence in our last team meeting, we realized you’d enjoy the irony of missing it because your dead. I’ve still got the four leaf clover you gave me, I’ll keep it safe.

I’ll never forget Tony showing me the “Monkeys telling the penguin and ice cream joke.” Funniest thing I’d ever seen. We are all a little better for having known and worked with Tony.

My dear friend,

We were just kids when we met in ’78. I’m sad because I’m selfish. I’m thankful for the honor of calling you my friend. You were the best friend. You kicked my ass when I needed it. You helped me get on with my life when you said you didn’t want to hear anymore about my failed love life. You came to my wedding, though you may not have agreed with it. Tom and I were happy to see you on Oahu and would have liked more time. I appreciate that you spoke sincerely and to the point. I’ll miss your big heart, smile and laughter. I pray for your wife, Lori, your brother, Michael, your Mom, your family and friends that they find peace and happy memories. Love you, my friend.

I was devastated to learn that our childhood friend Tony Mc Greevy had passed away! We grew up with him, and his siblings in Silver Spring when dad was stationed at Walter Reid Army Hospital in the late 50’s. We stayed in touch thru the mid 70’s and then lost track when we went to Germany in 74. We often talk about the great times we all had with every member of the Mc Greevy family! Lynn and I were the same age, and I think of all of them with such fondness. My heart aches for Anne, Bob, Lynn, Larry, Victor, and Michael. Would love to reconnect with the family. My phone # is 770-294-0399. My heart is broken for your loss and ours! With love, Yvonne Diaz-Fluhr
