Gregory J. Fredericks was born on November 20, 1958, in Ogdensburg, NY, the son of the late Sidney and Joyce (Countryman) Fredericks. He graduated from Ogdensburg Free Academy in 1976. His first marriage to Julie Ferris ended in divorce. On July 1, 1988, he married Vicki Thompson in Heuvelton.
Greg started his career with Standard Shade Roller in Ogdensburg, where he worked for a decade before joining the New York State Department of Corrections in 1989. He served as a corrections officer until his retirement in 2014. During his career, he worked primarily at Riverview Correctional Facility, as well as at Sing Sing, Green Haven, and Watertown correctional facilities. Following his retirement, he continued working at Notre Dame Cemetery, Lowe’s, and O’Reilly Auto Parts.
Greg was a parishioner of St. Mary’s Cathedral. He enjoyed woodworking, construction projects, and working with his hands. He started the Heuvelton Boys and Girls Youth Basketball Association in the early 2000s, where he served as coach to many children in a program that is still going strong today. He took great pride in his yard and property and enjoyed fishing and cheering on the L.A. Rams.
Greg will be remembered as a helpful, thoughtful, and considerate man who was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need. He was especially proud of the opportunity to help care for his mother, alongside his sister Lisa, during the final years of her life.
