Greg lived a very full life in his 70 years on this planet and traveled the country at will. He was a graduate of Van Buren High School where he made many lifelong friends.

He was an avid fisherman and spent many hours with family and friends on the EEL river fishing for the BIG catfish, not those little ones.

In Greg`s younger years he worked at Great Dane of Brazil, he went on to retire from Zachry Engineering Corporation as an electrician for 18 plus years.  Greg liked to collect rocks and fossils from the all over the country, and enjoyed telling you where every one of them came from and the story behind it. He loved his little Corgi dogs and cats very much and was a good human to them all. He found peace working in his flower beds and small vegetable garden. Greg had an amazing and colorful sense of humor and a lifetime of stories to go with it. Greg was a member of The American Legion Post 2 and The Eagles Lodge 274 of Brazil Indiana.
