Greg enjoyed countless hobbies. From riding dirt bikes, to water skiing, hunting, fishing, coaching baseball, ranching, competitive shooting, and just being outdoors. Whatever he put his mind to, he could do.
Most of all, Greg loved and adored his family. He put the very best of himself into them and friends. Greg was a mentor to many, even if you didn't think you needed one.
His ultimate joy, was when his granddaughters, Kakie and Kaizlee, came into this world. He was known as "Pops" to them. Their favorite thing about Pops was the trinkets he had in his shirt pocket. They enjoyed many ice cream cones and buggy rides at the farm with Pops. They will miss him dearly.
