Greg was a talented carpenter and artist. He enjoyed making stained glass and had recently taken up quilting. He loved the Lord and was blessed to have traveled to Africa on two occasions for missions. However, most of all, he loved his family. He could not have been more proud of his children. He will be remembered because when he laughed his whole face danced.
