Mrs Williams, I was shocked to see Greg's obituary in today's paper. I would like to offer my most sincere condolences to you and your family. Greg and I delivered voting machines together starting in 2014. I enjoyed every minute being in the truck with him. We had common interests and talked continuously. He was a very good person and I am glad I got to know him. Roy "Skip" Yeager

I am saddened to hear of Greg's passing. I worked with him at Sears, now over twenty years ago. We had many stimulating conversations in the break room over WW II history and other historical events. He could speak with authority and knowledge on many subjects, and I always looked forward to speaking with him and getting his opinion, which I valued. I feel that my life was made better by his kindness and generosity that he displayed toward others. We are diminished by his passing. My prayers for his family. Gregory Bickle
