Greg was a dedicated & hardworking concrete finisher, known for his meticulous attention to detail & pride in his craft. His perfectionism was evident in every project he undertook. He also devoted his life to his faith, beginning his ministry at the age of 19, preaching on the streets of Salina.

He loved the outdoors, spending time hunting deer, rabbits, & squirrels, and he was an avid fisherman who even crafted his own sinkers. Greg also enjoyed ATV adventures & cherished quiet moments watching Star Trek or listening to Jimmy Swaggart. Known for his humor & rhyming wit, he brought joy to those around him.
Above all, Greg was a devoted family man. He treasured time spent with his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, & loved ones, always with a glass of sweet tea in hand. Greg will be remembered for his steadfast faith, giving heart, & unwavering love for his family.
