Gregory Lynn Wine

Gre­gory Lynn Wine, 56, of Delaware was called home to be with the Lord on Tues­day (Nov. 15, 2011) while recov­er­ing from spinal surgery.

Greg was born in Delaware where he lived his whole life. He was a 1973 grad­u­ate of Buck­eye Val­ley High School. Born Jan. 20, 1955 to Hans­ford and Dorothy (Stover) Wine, Greg had two sis­ters, Linda (Jack) Johns still liv­ing and Bar­bara (Roy) Mullins both deceased. He left behind so many fam­ily mem­bers and he loved each and every one of them so deeply. In Jan­u­ary of 1974, he mar­ried the love of his life, Linda Jean Hawk, They bore two chil­dren, a son, Mike (Nikki) of Mar­ion and a daugh­ter, Amy (Bill) of Marysville. He was blessed with six won­der­ful grand­chil­dren that were the joy of his life, Jacob, Andrea, Isaac, Shawn, Caden and Owen. Fam­ily meant every­thing to Greg and he taught them so much about the val­ues of life and the impor­tance of Christ in their lives.

Greg was owner of Able San­i­ta­tion and worked daily with Linda on the truck. He worked at Union Fork and Hoe com­pany for 13 years back when the com­pany was in Delaware. In 1998, the Lord called Greg and Linda into his ser­vice with a singing min­istry and they named them­selves “New Wine.” They sang South­ern Gospel and trav­eled for sev­eral years singing for Christ and spread­ing the gospel. Heaven just received a beau­ti­ful rich voice that will be truly missed here.

There will be a cel­e­bra­tion of life on Sat­ur­day, Nov. 19, at Christ the King Wor­ship Cen­ter, 4701 U.S. 23N, Delaware. We will gather to rem­i­nisce from 10 a.m. until noon with a ser­vice to honor Greg at noon. Lunch will fol­low for all who wish to stay. Greg’s desire for years has been to be a donor at time of death. Life­line has informed Linda his body will touch around 50 lives. That being said, Greg is being cre­mated and will stay in Linda’s care until her pass­ing so they can be laid to rest together at their favorite place, so please do not send flow­ers. If you would like to give, please give any dona­tion to Christ the King in honor of Greg. He loved his church fam­ily. He wanted to fur­ther the build­ing of Christ’s king­dom. He was so excited to share in that growth in the Lord’s name. It would be most hon­or­able to share in that with him.

John 3:16 — For God so love the world that he gave his only begot­ten son, that whoso­ever believeth in Him should not per­ish, but have eter­nal life.
