Greg was born March 30, 1950, in Wilmington, Ohio to Robert Todd and Ethel Joyce Crumly Denton. He was a 1968 graduate of Washington High School; received a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering from The Ohio State University and a master's degree in business administration from National University.
Before his retirement, he was an aeronautical engineer and had worked for Pratt & Whitney, General Dynamics, General Atomics, Solar Turbines, General Electric and Boeing Aerospace.
He was extremely interested in space travel and built a full-size replica of a space capsule which was displayed at the Fayette County Fair. He was an avid Ohio State University football fan and enjoyed sports cars, playing bridge and volleyball.
He was preceded in death by his father and a sister, Sanda Krone and his step-father, Willis F. Coffman.
Greg is survived by his mother, Joyce Coffman; a brother, Douglas Denton and his wife, Jackie, all of Grove City and three nieces and a nephew.
A private graveside service will be held in the Washington Cemetery with Eddie Gault, associate pastor at the First Baptist Church, officiating. Burial will be under the direction of the Kirkpatrick Funeral Home in Washington Court House.

Greg, my heart is aching. You were my dear friend from kindergarten on. We are never prepared to lose someone so it´s difficult to accept. You are at peace now and no more pain and suffering. I will always remember our Mexican dinners together when I would come home to visit my brother. Serious conversations but lots of laughs while we were reminiscing. Rest in peace, Greg, and watch over us. Love you always Dear Friend...
