Not sure what to say?

Greg and my husband David Oleneck were neighbors while growing up on Alexis Road. Dave and I went to a wedding several years ago and both of the men were excited to see one another. Over the years Dave would recall something the two of them had done together. Dave cherished the friendship.

May your heart find comfort knowing that your love one is at home with the Lord Love Gwendolyn E.March Jones &Family

Sometimes shirttails are out and other times are tucked in. Greg and I are "shirttail" cousins. Over time we crossed paths...trading favors, a happenstance, Grandma W'ski never missed a Saturday when you wrestled on TV... A life well matched!

I met Greg at Torio's. Over time we became good friends. Greg was kinda like a big brother. He helped train me when I started power lifting. We went to each others meets. We bounced at the Cave. And did janitorial work together. I helped Greg and his first wife move in their first home. When he went pro I was the guy walking around selling The Great Wojo paraphernalia. I still can't believe this had happened. He will be missed.

Sending a very heartfelt thank you to The Great Wojo for taking the time to mentor my son, not only as a coach but as a friend and human being. I am honored that my son was able to spend time with him and get to know him on a personal level. My son will no doubt take many things Greg said and did, with him on journey through adulthood and life. Thank you for taking him under your wing Wojo. Sending his family my deepest condolences. He will truly be missed by many.

May he rest in peace, condolences to the family and friends. Importantly, Greg was a great ambassador for Toledo as well as one of Toledo's greatest athletes.

I had the privilege of working out with Greg a few times at Torio's gym while I was in high school. Hw was soft spoken and always a gentleman. I will always remember him fondly

When I was a kid , we´d be out in the church field behind "the Great Wojo´s" house playing baseball. Greg would come out , walk across the field though all of us not saying a single word. He´d pick up a bat step up to the plate , nod to the pitcher. First pitch he´d knock that ball outta park and bounce it off the roof of his garage. We´d all cheer. He´d drop the bat and walk away, still not saying a word. He was our hero. The Great Wojo will live in our hearts forever!

I have spoken well of Greg since our time together at Libbey - I was there for three years always teaching in a program with Greg and Dan Macklemore (another really good guy). One day the principal (Mr. Norment) called me in to his office and asked if I had ever wrestled - I answered, "a little in high school", and he said "good, you're the new assistant wrestling coach". I said, "I'm not really interested...."he stopped me and said "Wojo will take the head coaching job with one condition -...
