Greg was a tender-hearted soul and very kind. He loved fly fishing, cats and babies. He was especially fond of Doug's step-daughter, Melissa Harr and her sons Tristan and the late Dylan Harr.

Greg was a very smart man. He was very knowledgeable about politics and many other things. He was a talker! He never met a stranger.

There are many happy memories of Greg. One that comes to my mind was a childhood memory. Greg was in the first grade and I was in the third grade. We had a fire drill at school and we lined up on the sidewalk by the Baptist Church in Fairview. Greg's teacher brought him to me because he was crying. When I asked him what was wrong, he said, "I left my blue sweater in the school!" He thought the school was on fire!

Greg was loved! RIP Greg! You will be sorely missed by many.

There will not be a service, however there will be a family gathering at a later date to celebrate Greg's life Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.domicofh.com.
