Pittsford After a 12-month struggle with multiple myeloma, a form of bone marrow cancer, Gregory Lew Sharrow of Pittsford, Vt., passed away in the early morning of April 2, just after his 68th birthday. He is survived by his husband, Robert Hooker, and their close friend and caregiver Brian Moulton, both of Pittsford; daughters Madeline Sharrow of Northfield and Olivia Sharrow of Burlington; stepdaughters Elizabeth Henry-Hooker and Siobhan Henry-Hooker (m. Dave Tomlinson), granddaughter Slade Tomlinson and step-grandsons Jack and Taige Tomlinson, all of Burlington; his former wife, Jessica Wright, of Braintree; brother-in-law George Hooker (m. Cheryl) of Rutland; and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents of Indiana and Rutland and his brother Douglas of Michigan. The last 12 months of Greg’s life were increasingly challenging as he struggled with the cancer, but no one could have asked for a better care team than Bob and Brian. Greg was never alone and was lovingly doted upon throughout it all. As he neared the end, the wonderful assistance of the staff of VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region was professionally and tenderly provided to Greg and his family. Gregory was born in Angola, Ind., on March 26, 1950, to parents Marjory and Earl Sharrow. He liked to describe his childhood environment as growing up in a garden. His mother was an avid gardener, a painter, and a collector of interesting and unusual objects. The interior and exterior of the houses in which they lived were always filled with bright colors, beautiful flowers and an array of unusual furniture, much of it repurposed, repainted and, in some cases, even reconstructed by Marjory. His family also had a cottage on Crooked Lake in Angola, which was the historic site of his great-grandparent’s farm called Kidney Landing. His childhood summers centered on the lake, and his love of being on and in the water persisted throughout his whole life. Greg always had a passion for history, family stories and old things. At the age of 8, Greg opened “The Little Museum” in the basement of his parents' house, and he and his mother, with whom he shared this passion, would go collecting for it. There are to this day a few small items still labeled “The Little Museum” at Greg and Bob’s home in Pittsford. After graduation from Angola High School in 1968, Greg attended Oberlin College in Ohio,…
