Greg Hennigar Tribute Page
Greg Hennigar, former star QB at Father Judge (Class of 2002), died May 31 of injuries suffered in an automobile accident. He was a freshman at Penn State and had made the football team as a preferred walk-on. He had even played well in the recent Blue-White game. Greg was liked and respected by everyone who knew him.
From Father Judge to Penn State
Hennigar spent two seasons as Judge's QB starter, both cut short by injury. Despite the setbacks, his talent was evident enough to earn him a preferred walk-on spot at Penn State, where he quickly made an impression.
A Mother's Words
Marie Hennigar wrote: "As Greg's Mom it is very hard to put into words the loss that I am feeling. My dearest son, my baby, my comedian, my football player is missed every minute of the day. He was a hero in my book, not only to people on the outside, but in our home too. He was the most caring and considerate person to all."
Remembered by Teammates
Ryan Brody, a Non-Pub teammate from Roman, reflected: "Although I did not grow up with Greg, I did have the privilege of befriending him during our short time preparing for the All-City Game. He was a great football player, but even a greater person. He made everyone feel a part of the team."
Justin O'Brien, a friend and teammate, wrote: "Greg was the best ever QB in the Catholic League but the best ever friend I could ask for. Greg would go out of his way to put a smile on your face or just to help you out."
