Greg suffered from schizophrenia since the age of 17. Reclusive, but pleasant, he preferred walking about Albuquerque, rather than be confined to any one place. People who knew Greg recall him as intelligent and polite. He was our son and our brother and he is missed. Gregory never married, had no children, and is survived by Samuel Tikkanen, his father; Maria Tikkanen, his mother; and his sisters Nadine Tikkanen, Stasia Tyner Tikkanen, and Lara Tikkanen Reising.
