Gregory Scott Boyer, 55, of Emmaus, died peacefully July 31, 2021, at his home following a nearly six year battle with prostate cancer. He was a son of the late Donald A. and Betty Jane (Hunsberger) Boyer.
He was a 1983 graduate of William Allen High School and a 1987 graduate of Bloomsburg University.
He worked for Ice City for 13 years and later owned the Symphony Cafe for a few years before working for Davis Beverage. Ultimately, he worked for the United States Postal Service in the Allentown branch, retiring in July of 2020 with 20 years of service.
Never one to let you see him sweat the difficulties of his disease, he was a regular at Wind Creek until just a week before his death. He loved to travel (most destinations had a casino attached), go to comedy shows and spend time around his pool with friends. His kitties Parker and Pete were very important to him.
He is survived by his husband and partner of 19 years, Joseph Cade; a sister, Sandi Minarovic (Tim); a brother, Brooks (Karen) and five nieces and nephews, Stephanie, Lauren, Tommy, Greg and Jeffrey. He was predeceased by a sister Bonnie Muller (Tom).
Contributions may be made in his name to the Lehigh County Humane Society, 640 Dixon St., Allentown, 18103.
Services have been entrusted to the Nicos C. Elias Funeral Home, 1227 W. Hamilton St., Allentown, where a memorial service will take place 11 a.m. Aug. 6 with a greeting time 10 to 11 a.m.
