Greg was born on January 23, 1950, in Lakewood, Colorado, son of Arlene E. Seedorf Scremin.
Greg graduated from high school and went on to honorably serve his country with the U.S. Army in Korea. He was united in marriage to Kathy Haase on November 16, 1973, in Dubuque and they had 3 wonderful children together before parting ways. Greg later married Karen Huseman Kennedy on October 23, 2004, in Dubuque, but sadly she passed away on January 12, 2009. Greg was a hard worker who started his career with Teglers. He went on to own and operate Scremin's Auto Service and Chuck's Toppers. He truly loved cars. He watched NASCAR religiously and sponsored several local stock car teams. He also enjoyed getting outdoors riding his Harley Davidson and was an avid football fan, faithfully watching the Chicago Bears and Denver Broncos. Greg also liked watching John Wayne movies and getting up on stage singing Karoke and entertaining the crowd. He also had a soft spot for any dog or cat that showed up at his door needing food and shelter. Greg was a good man who worked hard and always helped out where he could. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
