I met Greg through mutual friends from PC West. He was at Wichita State playing baseball and my dad was an alum of WSU and we became instant friends!! He had a heart of gold and was just an amazing person! Prayers for his family and friends.

Very sorry for your loss. Greg and I grew up together skating at the Comet Rink in OKC when we were in grade school, played football together in Jr. High and High School. I followed his pitching success while he was throwing. My mom loved him very much and enjoyed it when he came by to visit. Very genuine and will be missed by many.

We met Greg when our daughters were playing softball together; he never failed to take time to help the girls or encourage them during a game. We had some good laughs and he will be missed. Our deepest sympathy and condolences for the family.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I helped Greg get back in shape when he was on the DL in 1992. He was an outstanding pitcher and I'm glad I had the opportunity to help him as he helped me as a catcher and a ball player. RIP.

I worked with Greg at Hiland in OKC. He was a really nice man who tried to help anyone he could. He worked hard at his job and trying to keep his paperwork right. I enjoyed working with him a lot and was sad when they moved his route to Norman. I was really sad to hear of his passing. Praying for his family.
