Greg Ree Engler, 73, died December 27, 2024 in Fort Collins. Born January 18, 1951, in Topeka, Kansas, he had been a wildlife biologist and retired from the US Postal Service.
He was the son of the late Patricia A. (Dietrich) Engler and Wayne S Engler. He graduated from Washburn Rural High School, Topeka, Ks in 1969. He was a trombone player in the Skimpy Dozen Band at Washburn. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Biology from Kansas State University. He worked for Nebraska Game and Parks Commission specializing in Geese and Wildlife Management.
He was a member of the Kansas Orchid Society. He custom built his private greenhouse with an antique stagecoach paving brick floor on his small farm near Tescott, Kansas.
