Gregg Monaco

Gregg Monaco

The section is shocked and saddened to convey the news that our Section Chair, Gregg Monaco, passed away early Wednesday morning, 14 December 2016. The cause was a heart attack brought on by the norovirus infection that he had. As recently as the Monday before, Gregg had prepared the board meeting agenda for use at Wednesday's board meeting, kiddingly excusing himself from the meeting due to a work colleague sharing the norovirus.

The funeral was held noon, Sunday, 18 December 2016, at Miller's Funeral Home, Woodbridge, VA 22192, with a sizable presence of Northern Virgina ASQ Section members attending.
