Gregory Matthew was born Sept. 25, 1930, in Dorchester, the son of John and Ella (Conner) Schulte. He married Jean Ann Fahey on Feb. 27, 1954, in Waukon. Greg worked as a farmer and postal clerk, retiring in 1992. He was a member of St. Jude Catholic Church and former member of St. Patrick Catholic Church.
Greg enjoyed spending time with his family, attending his children's and grandchildren's sporting events and watching classic Western television shows. He never spoke a bad word about anyone, never complained about anything and always had a great sense of humor.
The family is happy to know that according to his favorite Willie Nelson song, he is “On the Road Again.”
Instead of flowers a memorial fund has been established to benefit St. Jude and St. Patrick Catholic Churches and Xavier High School.
