    recorded of Americans at war." (Wyatt Andrews, CBS National News Correspondent).

Greg Lawrence Helle, son of Edval Helle Jr. and Connie Helle, passed away at the age of 33 on July 23, 2010, at Sanford Hospital in Fargo.  He was surrounded by many family members and friends as he started his journey Home.


Greg was born in Langdon, North Dakota, on September 29th, 1976, and graduated from Edmore High School in 1995.  He attended college at Mayville State University and North Dakota State University.  Greg was well-known in the Fargo area, as he helped open many restaurants there.  Most recently, Greg worked as General Manager for J.L.Beers in Fargo.  He truly loved his job, his "regulars," and most of all, everyone he worked with.


Growing up, Greg loved sports, hunting, fishing and golfing.  Throughout his life, he was in the center of every fun moment with many, many friends and usually the guy behind every great prank.  He loved watching Twins baseball and listening to all kinds of music.  Greg could take any ordinary moment and make it unforgettable.  He was a caring, loving man who needed to take care of others, especially his mom.  He loved spending time with and spoiling his nephews, godchildren and "firstborn" Scotty.  Knowing Greg was a lifelong commitment, as you could never forget him.


 Greg is survived by his parents, sisters Tracy Carlson of Fargo, Ashley (Dustin) Samuelson of Buxton and his adored nephews, Carter Carlson and Rylan Samuelson. He also leaves behind his great love, Andrea Williams.  Greg will be missed by his uncles Randy (Kristi) Helle and Mike (Debbie) Bender, and his aunts, Judi (Kenny) Thomasson, Debbi (Sammy) Johnson, Diane (Jerry) Koltes, Carole Helle and Joan Kartes.  He is also survived by his grandmother, Carol Helle, many special cousins and countless friends.


Greg was preceded in death by his grandfathers Edval Helle Sr. and Lawrence Bender and his grandmother Adahnelle "Joni" Bender.
