Obituary

Gregory F. "Gregg" Follis
1952-2026

Gregg Follis, 74, passed away peacefully on August 6, 2026, in Angola, Indiana. Gregg leaves a legacy of family, community and great stories.

Born March 17, 1952, to the late Frank and Hazel (Gowen) Follis, Gregg graduated from Bishop Luers High School. He and Sue Follis spent 43 years owning the Sit 'n Bull in LaOtto, Indiana, where he was the "straw that stirred the drink." Gregg had a gift for bringing people together and loved sharing good food, laughter and friendship with everyone around him. He also spent 25+ years as the groundskeeper at Wallen Baseball Complex. His passion for youth sports was unmatched, and he poured his love, knowledge and enthusiasm for the game into every player he encountered.

Above all, Gregg was most proud of his family. He was the devoted father of Amy, Andy and A.J. (Ashlee) and loving Papa to six grandchildren, Alexis, Brooklynn, Carter, Lincoln, Harper and Graeson, and one great-grandson, Beckett. He loved his family fiercely and took great joy in supporting them in all they did. Whether at the lake, Wallen, countless softball fields or the ballparks while visiting family in Arizona, Gregg was a Papa not only to his own grandchildren but to every child fortunate enough to know him. Papa Gregg will be deeply missed by all. Gregg also is survived by Sue Follis; brother, Phil (Lynn) Follis; sister, Judi (Bob) Loubier; and partner, Jane Gear.

A celebration of life will be held beginning at noon on August 29 at the place he lived and loved for the past 36 years - Lake James (3995 N 300 W, Angola, IN 46703).

In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made in Gregg's memory to support the youth sports he loved so much. Contributions can be made to A.J. Follis (Venmo @Adam-Follis or onsite at the celebration of life) and will be used to support Churubusco Softball, AZ Outlaws Baseball and Wallen Baseball Complex.
