Gregory James Ambrose, 78, of Murrysville, originally from Penn Hills, passed away Friday, April 3, 2026. Greg was preceded in death by his parents, Daniel Ambrose and Alice (McGrath) Ambrose; his brothers, Daniel, Theodore, and Roy; and his son, Gregory Daniel. Greg started his career as a draftsman at D'Appolonia Engineering. In the late '70s, he worked for a local flooring company and realized he had a passion for wood floors. In 1979, at the age of 31, he started Wood Floor Specialists, Inc. Greg was a hard worker and built a successful company. He did whatever it took to put a roof over his family's head and food on the table. After 46 wonderful years, Greg turned his company over to his son, Josh. Greg enjoyed collecting 1950's memorabilia and a few classic cars over the years. Greg really enjoyed cutting his grass and working in his garden. To him, this was enjoyable and relaxing. Greg is survived by his daughter, Michelle Kontos of Plum; his sons, Daniel of Miami, and Joshua of Murrysville; his grandchildren, Marissa Bosh and Konstantinos Kontos; and his half-brother, Daniel Ambrose of Amherst, OH.
