Jack Andrew Grecula (61) passed away peacefully, surrounded by love, on February 28, 2025,
from complications from a medical condition. Friends and family will miss him deeply.
The youngest of eleven siblings, Jack was born on December 15, 1963, to John and Betty
Grecula, in Minneapolis MN. He grew up and attended school in Brainerd, where he met the
love of his life, Sandee Hines and married in 1982. They moved to Ramsey where they raised
their three boys: Andrew, Chris and Brad. In 2002 they moved to Isanti. Jack had a strong work
ethic. He spent his career at Hilltop Trailer Sales, then Berger Transfer and Storage as a
Building Maintenance Supervisor, where he touched many lives, and made many friends.
Jack was a true “Jack-of-all-trades”, lending a helping hand to all who needed it. To know Jack,
was to know acceptance and compassion. He opened his home to all who needed him, animals
and people alike. He had an incredible ability to fix anything and enjoyed hunting, camping, four-
wheeling, shooting, and working in the garage.
Above all, Jack was devoted to his family. He was a loving and supportive husband to Sandee,
father and leader to his boys, and beloved grandpa. His joy and focus were helping his sons
with projects, spoiling his grandkids, or making sure his wife had everything she needed. Jack’s
love for his family was evident in everything he did. He took great pride in their happiness and
success.
Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by brothers, Jerry Joe and Jay, and sisters, Joan
and Judy.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Sandee; sons, Andrew (Theresa), Chris and Brad
(Demi); grandchildren, Mason, Amber, Carter and Haley; brothers, John (Claudia), Joe (Peggy),
Bob (Wanda), Jim (Missy) and Jeff (Roxanne); sister, Betsy Paulston; and by many other
relatives and friends.
Jack’s warmth, generosity, and unwavering love for his family will carry on.
This guy is going to be missed. Such a quiet gentleman. So stoic but always ready for a party. I’m going to miss going wheeling & sitting around the campfire with him. He seemed to always know what he wanted & wasn’t swayed by anyone else. So capable & nonchalant about how he could do or fix anything. I loved seeing him with his grandkids the love was just overflowing. He loved his family more than anything. This is how I saw Jack & I’m glad for the time I got to spend with him & I’m going to miss this big teddy bear of a man terribly.
We all find great surprise in Jack’s passing. Having worked with him was an honor. We’ll miss his work ethics and devotion. All will remember his kindness and that great smile when he greeted you each morning.
Jack was appreciated and we miss him.
When I first heard about Jack’s accident I thought he will overcome this because of his will and strength. I’ve known Jack for many years from working with him on Asphalt and Sealcoat projects for Berger Transfer and Logix. He was a pleasure to work and collaborate to finish projects on a busy facility with minimal disruptions. Great Guy.
