Greg, first class, a man in every definition of the word. Always fun to be around, always cared about those he was surrounded by, first to help, easy to talk with, insightful, kind. Had the pleasure to know Greg while on the road during his scouting career, post coaching. Always looked forward to being with him on a school visit, type of person that made everyone’s day better. He always talked with love regarding his family. Nothing but good memories of a really good person, soul.
