Greg was a great salesman and I told Greg why are these people say there just looking when I say "can I help you" he told me to say " what could I do for you" . I have literally sold more cars and use this everyday. I have so many amazing memories with Greg being my next door neighbor where he basically lived and loved say furniture. He seemed so happy selling furniture. When he went to buckeye furniture he showed me all newest furniture. He loved furniture. He really had so many families because we loved him like a brother.

My deepest sympathies to the family. I graduated with Greg from Lima Senior and he was just an all around nice guy. His father and mine were good friends. Rest easy

I was lucky enough to work with Greg Newland, Steve Yeager, and the whole SAY Furniture family for 14 years. Ask any of us who were part of this family over the years (Fetzer, Jones, Hatcher, Fetzer Jr, Senning, Robinson, May) and they will all confirm this was a job like no other, and Greg had a lot to do with that. He was one of the most interesting people you would ever meet, he could fix anything, and was just all around a great guy. Greg would do anything for his family & friends, and I send my deepest sympathies to everyone who was lucky enough to know Greg. Rest easy my friend - Cummings.
