To Donna, Scotty and family, May you find comfort in all the memories he left you. Greg knew how to give smiles and he was contagious. We Loved to hear his perspective on the Jaguars. We would always dial in to the local radio talk show after the Jaguar game as we new Sleepy would be heard. He gave a lot to this community. Memories of the River Taxi and the many jobs he provided. His name brings smiles. May God hold all of you close.

So many great memories. My first job after graduating high school was with Greg on the water taxi. He made working fun and I learned so much from him about life. He made me a better person. I’m fortunate that I had his friendship and mentoring. May God Bless him in heaven.

We're sending loving thoughts to Greg’s family during these difficult days. As time passes we know your memories of his humor and love will be a comfort. How can we not smile, remembering Greg’s silly jokes, those crazy fake teeth, his nicknames for everyone? He loved making others laugh, and that was his gift to all who knew him.
