Gregory Bils Obituary
Gregory W. "Greg" Bils, 75, of Cygnet, died at 4:39 p.m. Monday, Feb. 26, 2024, at his residence.
He was born July 18, 1948, in Tiffin, to Joseph John and Mary Alice (Alban) Bils.
Greg is survived by his daughters, Amber (Michael) Dresden of Bloomfield, Michigan, and April (Richard) DeLamatre of Cygnet; significant other, Lyn Cheatwood of Bloomdale; brothers, Doug Bils of Rushsylvania, Dennis Bils of Cygnet, and Mark (Carolyn) Bils of Rochester, New York; sisters, Janice (Gary) Nelson of Bowling Green and Diania (Joe) Nemcik of Centerville; beloved grandchildren, Reagan, Henry, and Sidney DeLamatre and Allison Dresden; and many nieces and nephews.
Greg was a lifelong farmer and U.S. Army veteran, having served our country in the Vietnam War. He was a member of North Baltimore American Legion Post 539. He enjoyed playing cards, games, and traveling, but his greatest love was attending his grandchildren's activities. Friends and family will remember Greg most for his quick wit and sense of humor.
Greg's funeral will be 11 a.m. Friday, March 1, 2024, at SMITH-CRATES FUNERAL HOME, North Baltimore. Burial will be at New Maplewood Cemetery, North Baltimore, where full military rites will be conducted by North Baltimore American Legion Post 539.

Such a shock and loss. We shared time together for many years as friends and roommates. Time distance prevailed but I did to visit with him my last trip to Bowling Green. His whole family has my deepest condolences for this loss.
