In all these factories he was a part of the management team, people always tell Kathy "Greg was a tough boss but always a fair boss." While working at Huffy he met his wife Kathy, they were married for 43 years. Greg has been a member of the Celina Moose Lodge for 48 years, a lifetime member of the VFW Auxiliary Post #5713 and the Celina Eagles.
Greg enjoyed sitting on the Correll S patio guarding The Grand and yelling at the cars or motorcycles that are going "too damn fast" on West Bank Road. Coffee and a cigar in the morning, in the evening he enjoyed a fine cigar and a good glass of scotch, Chivas Regal was his favorite. A good day for Greg was golfing with his Golfers Gone Wild buddies. He enjoyed wood working and watching YouTube videos about woodworking. But the best part of his world was spending time with his family and grandchildren.
