Grigore, also known as Gregor or Gregory, was an ethnic Romanian, the son of Constantin and Paraschiva Puscas, but it is not known whether he was born within the then-boundaries of the Kingdom of Romania or rather within the boundaries of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire. Grigore reportedly first arrived in the U.S. in 1912, according to the 1930 U.S. Census, though it is possible that he is the "G. Puscas," age 17 (and so born circa 1894), who crossed from Canada into the U.S in 1911 at St. Albans Town, Vermont (due south of Montreal), according to the "Index to Alien Arrivals at Canadian Atlantic and Pacific Seaports, 1904-1944" database. Grigore moved to Pontiac, Michigan, where he spent the rest of his life working in the Fisher Body automaking plant. On 8 Aug. 1925 in Detroit, Michigan, Grigore married Catherine L. Buliga, a daughter of Romanian immigrants named Gregor and Annie (Pascar) Buliga. According to the 1940 census, Grigore and Catherine had two daughters, Mary and Jane. Grigore and Catherine later had a son Gregory. Grigore died in Oakland County (probably Pontiac) in Michigan. His widow Catherine remarried in 1956 to John Phillips.
