Greg was born to John and Alvera Campbell in Sterling, Colorado on February 17, 1947. The family lived in numerous places around northeast Colorado. He graduated from Merino High School. He then attended Lincoln Auto Mechanic Training in Denver.
Greg worked several years with the highway department for the State of Colorado. He then bought and ran a bowling alley/steak house/bar in Chappell, Nebraska for several years. In 1993, he returned to Sterling and started his G & C Yard Services. After 25 years, he had to give up his business due to health issues. Greg was an avid motorcyclist. He enjoyed riding with friends and family to the mountains or stock race tracks in Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas. He also enjoyed big game hunting with family and friends.
Greg looked forward to the Campbell Reunions. He had great fun getting to spend time with cousins and everyone attending. He was a member of the Akron Elks Lodge being Exalted Ruler one year. He also started the very successful Annual Poker Run, which many look forward to each year.
