My sincerest condolences go to the McCoy family. I worked with Greg at Reynolds for a time and knew him for much longer. He had a great sense of humor and was fun to be around. I am saddened by his passing. His fishing exploits were legondary along with his work partner Quince. I considered him to be a good friend whom i have missed since the shut down and will greatly miss at his passing. Prayers for the family.
