Gregg and I met when I was 15 and he was 17. We dated for 5 fun years and then married in May 1981. We shared many laughs, lots of great times together and many memories. We had 2 beautiful daughters together whom I know he is very proud of and a precious granddaughter who will always remember her grandfather. My heart aches for Butch, Teresa, my daughters, and the entire family. We will always have our wonderful memories of Gregg stored in our minds for those special times when we think of him. God will continue to take care of Gregg's family through this difficult time. He will be missed by many and was loved by many.
