Greg and I were close buddies in the early 50's in St Albans, WV....he went to Charleston Catholic HS and I went to St Albans HS...we would compare our football accomplishments (he was superior in all he did)...I tried to find him in the later years (was told erroneously he became a Priest, which made perfect sense to me) but was not able to find him til I GOOGLED him a couple of years ago and found his retirement article.

In the early 90s MG Barlow was gracious enough to grant me an interview for the "Evergreen" magazine of the WA Army & Air National Guard, where I discovered he was a leader filled with empathy for those he commanded, and inspired us all to excellence in performing our duties. He shared his deep wisdom generously and set an outstanding example to follow. He had few peers, and was loved by his troops. May he rejoice in heaven forever.

Greg attended Charleston Catholic High School in Charleston WV but did not graduate with our class in 1957. At class reunions, we often talked about his accomplishments and what a great guy he was. We are so sorry to hear of his passing. We will keep Greg and the family in our thoughts and prayers.
