Gregory Dean Savor, 68, of Onalaska, WI passed away unexpectedly on September 7, 2024.
Born in Minneapolis to Ulysses (Racky) Savor and Melaine Tollefson, he spent his childhood in Sparta with his five boisterous brothers, Timothy, Stephen, Douglas, Jonathon (Poocher), Tom, and his sister, Marteen. He met his beloved wife, Kimberly Rasmussen, in 1977, and they married in 1981. He and Kim were together for 47 years and raised four beautiful children; Alex, Justine, Alanna, and Evan, all of whom survive him. He and Kim shared a philosophy of life, love of adventure, and cherished the extraordinary life they created together. His family meant the world to him, and lately his favorite role was fun and playful “G.G.” to his four sweet grandchildren, whom he spoiled to pieces.
Greg was the dedicated owner and operator of Sparta Tool & Manufacturing and also served on the board of Multistack. When he wasn’t hard at work, he preferred to spend time at the lake with loved ones; boating, snowmobiling and maintaining his famous green lawn. He also had an affinity for Wisconsin sports, fast cars and fishing trips to Canada. No one loved to tease more than Greg, which is how he most often showed affection. If he ever made fun of you or gave you a nickname, rest assured he loved you. Greg’s sense of humor, kindness and generosity will be missed by more than he knew.
Please join us for a Celebration of Life on Sunday, October 6th in the Cargill Room at The Waterfront Restaurant in La Crosse, from 3-6pm, with remarks and a blessing at 4pm.
