Brunswick — Gregory John McVeigh, age 65, died Saturday December 23, 2017 at Maine Medical Center, Portland.

He was born February 15, 1952 in Rochester NY the son of Raymond and Pearl Johnson McVeigh. He was a graduate of Cardinal Mooney High School, SUNY Agricultural and Technical College at Alfred, and Oklahoma State University, and later partially finished his MS in Civil Engineering at the University of Houston, which he put on hold once his first child was born. After graduating from Oklahoma State University he moved to Houston to work for Brown and Root where he met and later married Teresa Rice in Houston on January 27, 1979.

He had been employed at Langford Engineering, Houston until relocating to the Brunswick area in 1987. He was most recently employed with Wright- Pierce, Topsham. He was a member of the ASCE, AWWA, and WEF professional societies and held Professional Engineering licenses throughout his career in states such as Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and Texas. He was formerly an active member of St. Charles Borromeo Church, Brunswick.

He was motivated by his love and devotion to family, to which he was selflessly available as a sounding board for ideas, an extra hand for house repairs/ improvements, or simply lent an ear to listen. Though he had always found enjoyment in either hiking or biking; his most recent joy lay in the anticipation of the birth of his first grandchild.

He is survived by his wife, Teresa McVeigh of Brunswick; a son, Sean McVeigh of Cedar Rapids, IA; a daughter, Meghan McBride and her husband Nicholas of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia; a sister, Tina Lynch and her husband John of Raymond, ME.

Friends and family can visit 2-4pm Saturday January 6, 2018 at the Brackett Funeral Home, 29 Federal Street, Brunswick, ME. Interment will take place at a later date in Rice Cemetery, Ollie, TX.
