Our prayers are with you and family. I graduated with Greg from north Cobb. We had a drama class together, that is when I met Greg. we both were scared of acting and didnt like the class. I never was very close to Greg yet over the years Owning trucks, Greg came to my rescue several times. I will miss you my friend. Smith Trucking and McKibben Trucking. I have always held a high respect for Greg. The last time he rescued me, we talked on the way back to acworth. All about family. He held a huge love in his heart

I didn't know him personally but I do know I thought highly of his showing of the Ten Commandments out in front of the shop. These days with everybody getting their feelings hurt over every little thing that offends them, I appreciated that representation of the commandments. Rest in Peace, Greg

I met Greg at a "TIME" event that he and I attended when I worked at Cobb Fire. He was a professional business man that we loved to work with and respected. Through the years I patronized his repair shop and could always depend on honest work and low costs. He was one of the good guys that are so rare in today's cut throat business world. Our prayers go out to his family and the friends that will sorely miss him. Retired cobb Fire Captain Joe Ethridge
