Albans man embraced life and all it offered and loved spending time with his family and twin daughters
It is with a heavy heart that we announce Gregory Michael Dunigan, 52, of St. Albans, Vt., passed away on July 23, 2024, after a five-year battle with cancer. With his wife, Heather, by his side, they brought forth a positive attitude and determination to live that left you humbled. Greg was the poster child for the saying, “Work to live, don’t live to work.” With Heather, his twins, Maggie and Ella, and their third daughter and loyal furry companion, Charlie, Greg embraced life and all it offered. Whether oceanside with his family in Maine, fishing with the girls and family on Bomoseen, cooking for his family and friends — including his famous green bean casserole for Thanksgiving — picking out the best Halloween costumes ever or floating in the pool listening to the Red Sox, he appreciated it all.

Greg loved his family and friends, but he would say his biggest accomplishment was being Maggie and Ella’s Dad. He was the ultimate girl dad. He was so proud of the girls and often talked about being in awe of them and how you couldn’t ask for better children. He credited Heather with most of this.

He and Heather could always be found on the sidelines cheering on their girls in softball, basketball and volleyball. He loved watching them play and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Greg loved being at the family cabin in northern Michigan and everything that comes with it — fishing in the Black River, getting lost in the Pigeon, grilling at Clear Lake, playing cards, napping on the hammock, laughing with family and friends by the campfire at happy hour, or being on the deck late at night with Heather watching the night stars. He loved it all and found such peace there. Greg is survived by his wife, Heather; his twin daughters, Maggie and Ella; and his loyal companion, Charlie. Greg loved his momma, Cecelia Ann Fox, and was predeceased by his father, James W…
