He enjoyed collecting and working on antique snowmobiles along with his four-wheeler and numerous tractors. Greg also enjoyed the outdoors, especially kayaking, canoeing, and camping with his family. He was also a coach in the Windham Youth Soccer League for several years. Greg ran his own lawn maintenance company for many years and recently worked for the Town of Windham on the Building and Grounds Maintenance Crew. Greg is survived by his wife, Nancy; daughter, Sara; his mother, Janice; his three brothers, Jeff, Anthony and Chris; along with his nephews Jeff, James and Joshua, and his nieces Gabrielle and Katrina Conant.

Nancy and Sara,
We was so shocked and so very sorry to learn of Gregs passing. It seems like it was just a few weeks ago when you were there for Denise when Bob passed away. I know you both know how much Greg loved and adored you and that is what you can hold onto with all the good memories. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
Terri, Jerry and Rick

Nancy,

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I was truly saddened to hear of Greg's passing. I have not seen you in many, many years but remember fondly the time that I would spend with the two of you in your tiny little apartment too many years ago to count.

You and yours are in my thoughts.

Greg was a kind and gentle man. I will always remember him that way. The first time I met him I thought my sister was very lucky. He had a great laugh and was always interested in things and people around him. I will miss you, Greg. I know God is carrying you now.

Nancy and Sara,

Please know that we are thinking of you at this incredibly painful time. Keep Greg's memory alive always and focus on the wonderful times you had together. It will be those memories that keep you going even through your darkest times. If at any time it gets too much for you, please don't ever hesitate to call. Sometimes just talking to someone who has been where you are now can help.
With Love,
Denise, Miranda and Danielle
