Read MoreI had the pleasure to work with this hard working man. He was very much a honest and straight forward man that told you how it was. Very much a Christian man like his wife and I know he is in heaven now and I’m thankful I knew him and he made a difference in my life. I know he will be watching over his family and friends! Fly high buddy!

Worked with Greg for 20 + yrs at USS Granite City . My handle was massabob and he was sledge . There are people that talk about work , but he was a guy that was on the job with tools when the machines broke . Hard headed , like some of us , but ready to compromise and get 'er done . When my wife was on dialysis , he asked people I didn't know from church to pray for her kidney transplant . They were answered and she has been doing well . I know that someone will remember him in...
