Greg lived in the central valley of California, most of his life. He came to Heavener Oklahoma in 2017 to be closer to his children and grandchildren. He had a kind heart and loved his children. Greg was most known for his work with classic cars and motorcycles, which overshadowed his poetry. Not many people knew Greg was a published poet and would spend many evenings in Coulterville California authoring and co-authoring poems with his oldest son.
Greg had a huge heart, though his adventurous spirit would often take him away, his love for his family would always bring him back to them.
DAD- ILL NEVER FORGET YOU, REST EASY UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN.
