In 1972 his family relocated to Lucerne, California. 

He was a 1978 graduate of Upper Lake High School. 

In the early 1980s Greg moved to San Jose where he worked as a foreman for the Zip weatherization program. Upon moving back to Lake County Greg worked for Bennett Plastering and later in the air conditioning field. 

Greg was a hard worker, very handy and could fix anything. He will always be remembered for his willingness to lend a hand and for his generous spirit.

He was predeceased by his parents; brother, Steve; sisters, Janet and Terri; niece, Andi; daughter, Abby; and his beloved “Nick-Nick.”

Fly high, Greg, until we meet again.
