Not sure what to say?

I met Greg in Spring grove around 2008. Kind soul helped make some headlight covers for his GT40. Extremely cool car

Cousin Greg & friend Dave

Class act. Thru and thru. Never forget the look on his face as he sat and looked at that car for hours on end. Great stories and time well spent.

Greg was my cousin. I say he was my cousin but many times during our childhood we were more like brothers, our families sometimes sharing the same house. The last time I saw him was in the 80's at his father's house in Florida. He had only the beginning of MS at that time and he could walk on his own without any visible problem. We went to KMART in Panama City to do some shopping and when he saw a woman in a wheel chair he said to me, That's me in a few years I replied, I don't believe that ....

greg always rember you, you were stight with all but never took bs from any. a true friend ,father and man will miss you frank rossi

30 years ago my son in front of a 34 Duesenberg at Greg's shop

I learned all about fords from Greg and his passion for them.Lots of nights in his shop talking cars(drinking stroh's beer) and listing to unchained melody on the radio. When ever I called him or came over to hang out he always said (hey dick!) Have fun up there your in a better place. Your GT104 goes up at auction in April $8-10 million est, you said it was a 10 million dollar car !

My condolences to Greg's family. I first met Greg in his shop several years ago. I just dropped in to ask questions about a Thunderbird I was restoring. I ended up purchasing a 62 Thunderbird from him, with the proceeds going towards the purchase of his iBot mobility chair. He later demonstrated its capabilities to me by climbing the stairs in his home and elevating him so he could work on cars. I wish I could have shown him the restored Thunderbird. Greg will be missed.

You are missed by all who were in your life.

I never saw Greg after high school, but I remember his infectious smile and dimples R.I.P. It's hard when your classmates start dying,
