Greg was raised near Pearl, Illinois. He attended grade school in Nebo and graduated from Pittsfield High School, before attending John Wood Community College. Greg was a mail carrier for the Post Office in Quincy for the past 32 years.

He had a knack for buying and fixing up houses. He always looked forward to hotdog Tuesday with family. Greg always looked forward to spending time with his best friends John and Tina Phillips.
