Greg Edward Cullen passed away suddenly on October 8th, 2019. He was 56.
Greg was born to Vincent and Marjorie Jean Cullen in Kearny, N.J., where he lived all of his life. In his youth, he was a baseball and football player, member of the Pioneer Boys of America, and had perfect Sunday School attendance at The First Presbyterian Church. In adulthood, he was a volunteer recreation soccer, basketball, football, softball, and baseball coach for 13 years.
Greg worked for the Kearny Water Department beginning in 1988 and in 2001 he was hired by the East Orange Water Commission, where he became the assistant superintendent of water. He was exceptionally skilled at his work.
He was the most loving husband anyone could ask for to his wife of 28 years, Jennifer, and he was adored by his three children, Jillian, Kaitlyn, and Jack. He is also survived by his sister, Dale, and his in-laws, Robert and Karen Craig. Greg was an exceptional husband, doting father, loyal friend, and an outstanding human being. He will be sorely missed.
