Francis Greco Obituary

Francis "Fran" Louis Greco, 88, of Harrison City, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, July 11, 2025. Born on April 21, 1937, in North Braddock, he was the son of the late Angelo Greco and Philomena (Sartorelli) Antrilli. He was also preceded in death by his stepfather, Philip Antrilli; and siblings, Virginia Rich, Albert Greco, Helen Cologrande, and Joe Antrilli. Fran is survived by his devoted wife of 61 years, Barbara (Fox) Greco; three loving daughters: Francine (Michael) Stahanczyk of Ohio, Angela (Michael) Babich of Harmony, PA, and Kathleen (David) Zierski of Manor, PA. He was a proud grandfather to six grandchildren: Alexandra, Olivia, Jack, Brinna, Tyler Elise, and Benjamin. He is also survived by siblings, Rosemarie "Tootsie" Burkovich, Dennis Antrilli, Hilda Connolly, and Edie Wtorkiewicz; as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. Fran was a faithful member of Immaculate Conception Church in Irwin. He was formerly an altar boy at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Braddock and later served as an usher, Eucharistic minister, and Eucharistic minister to the sick at St. Michael the Archangel Church in Butler. A proud veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, Fran lived a life of dedication to faith, family, and service. He loved gardening, traveling to Italy, square dancing, and, above all, spending time with his family and grandchildren.

Dear Barb & family, I´m so sorry to hear of Fran´s passing.
My deepest sympathy to all of you.
I can´t help remembering all the nice times we shared at
St. Michael´s in Butler. I felt so bad when you moved. But we have kept in touch & I´m so thankful for your friendships.
I will keep you both in my prayers. Fran was such a friendly & kind person, I know he will certainly be missed.

Barb Stanko & Jack.
