Richard Gregory (Greg) Damon, 71, passed away on Monday, July 26, 2021. A lifelong resident of Syracuse, he was born in 1950 to Richard and Virginia Damon. He attended St. John the Baptist Academy and Christian Brothers Academy, graduating in 1968. Greg attended SUNY Oswego where he graduated in 1972.

He loved telling the childhood story of beating Dolph Schayes in a free-throw shooting competition at summer camp at age 12. As an adult, Greg's hobbies included golf, watching sports - especially the Green Bay Packers and Syracuse- grilling steaks and was an avid music listener. He also loved time with his grandchildren.
