Mahler, William Gregory "Greg"
William Gregory “Greg” Mahler, 75, of Venice passed away Tuesday,
October 22, 2024, at Shands Hospital in Gainesville, FL with his family by
his side. Greg was born in Indianapolis, Indiana on November 10,1948 and

away from work was filled with amazing trips with his wife Marianne and
many hours in his airplanes. Air races, training others, and helping often
were what fueled his passion for the sky. Greg was happy, positive, and
loved God. He was loved and revered by all who knew him.

Greg was like a mentor and second father to me. I was able to learn so much from him and he allowed my to work and fly for him. He taught me that there will be walls to overcome but that it can be done. He was one of the most important people to me and I will miss him forever. I cannot express the words to say how much I will miss him. Fly High Greg!
With Love,
Jason
