Greg was an avid outdoorsman and was never happier than when he was in the woods hunting for deer (or Bigfoot) or at a lake with a fishing pole. He had a passion for cooking and trying new things in the kitchen. Greg found joy in watching a wide range of sports from baseball and hockey to NASCAR racing.

Yet, it was Greg's remarkable sense of humor that truly set him apart. His quick wit and ability to find laughter in any situation brought joy to those around him. Greg's jokes and lighthearted demeanor uplifted spirits and created lasting memories with family and friends. His infectious chuckle will forever echo in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to share in his humor.

As we say our final goodbyes, remember him as a man who embraced life’s adventures, treasured his family, and reveled in the beauty of nature. May his spirit guide us to seek solace in the outdoors and cherish precious bonds with loved ones. Though he may be gone, his legacy will forever ripple through the waters and echo through the forests he dearly loved. Rest in peace dear Greg.
