Louis Gregory Pederzani passed away peacefully on Feb 20, 2020 at the age of 99. He was born in Nashua in 1920, the son of Guy and Elizabeth Pederzani. He is predeceased by his beloved wife of 52 years, Margaret; his brother and sister-in-law, Guy and Louise Pederzani; and his sisters, Elaine and Natalie Pederzani.
Gregory graduated from the University of Chicago with a BS in Physics. After serving in the U.S Army during W.W.II, Gregory held multiple jobs before retiring from the Boeing Military Airplane Company where he was employed as a test engineer.
A bit of a Renaissance man, Gregory had many interests. He was a competitive marksman, followed the Red Sox closely, and was an adventurous traveler and outdoorsman. But he also loved classical music, the opera and the ballet with Swan Lake being a particular favorite.
But more than anything, his nieces and nephews remember him as a quiet, endlessly curious intellectual. Greg was an avid, cover-to-cover reader of the NY Times. At the end of his life, he had four books in his room – a dictionary, “A Brief History of Time”, “Philosophy 101”, and “Nettie Colburn Trance Medium” an autobiography of a spiritualist to Abraham Lincoln. He will be missed.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to one of Gregory’s favorite places, the Nashua Public Library. A private Graveside service will take place at a later date. Arrangements are in the care of the FARWELL FUNERAL SERVICE, 18 Lock Street, Nashua. www.farwellfuneralservice.com
