Greg Thomajan
July 20, 2023

Greg Thomajan passed away on July 20, 2023 at the age of 87. Loving husband to Andrea for 39 years. Father of Christopher Z. and wife Mary, Dana Holland, and husband Robert, and Keith and wife Edie. Also survived by seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

After graduating from Lawrence Academy and Colby College, he proudly served two years in the Marine Corps before entering the family business in 1960. At the helm of Zareh Inc., Greg could be counted on for a game of backgammon, a shot of Scotch, an update on the Sox and, somewhat incidentally, you may leave with the nicest suit and tie in Boston. With his partner Andrea, Greg navigated Zareh through changing fashions and fads, economic peaks and valleys and, through it all, built an enduring Boston brand. When queried about the “secret of his success.” he replied, “Show up on time for work every day for sixty years and good things are going to happen to you.” Known for his beloved golden retrievers, he worked hard, played by the rules, and the wins and losses were what they were.

A Celebration of Greg’s Life will be held on Tuesday, July 25th, from 4-7 PM at 604 Union Wharf, Boston. Remembrances may be sent to Smile Train. Bell-O’Dea Funeral Home 376 Washington St. Brookline, MA. 02445 www.bellodeafuneralhome.com
