MADISON - Gregory Schumacher (Grego, Schu) passed away on April 28, 2023, in his hometown of Madison, Wis. He was born on Jan. 17, 1959, the son of Kenneth and Regina Schumacher.

Greg attended St. Bernard’s, Edgewood and Shabazz. Later in life he attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he earned both his undergraduate and master’s degrees in social work.

Whether known as a bar owner (Slammers) or bartender/short order cook at many Madison pubs, he always had our hearts and provided humor mixed with community awareness.

A founding member of the Beatles Sing-along/ Jam in 1981, he was a die-hard fan and wanted to ensure everyone else was able to enjoy the “love” that was the Beatles. The upcoming celebration of life will be the 44th year at the RIGBY, 119 E. Main St. Madison, from 1 p.m. until we shut the place down!

Greg was known for his sharp wit and big heart. He had a magnetic personality that drew people to him, and he was always the life of the party.

Greg is survived by his partner, Ginnie Richardson; brother, Daniel Schumacher; and sisters, Kathryn Dycus and Mary Schumacher. Greg's life was enriched by the many family members and good friends who surrounded him throughout his years. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Peter, Phil and Eugene; and sister, Jay4ne.

A celebration of life will be held at RIGBY PUB AND GRILL, 119 E. Main St., Madison, on Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023, beginning at 1 p.m.
