Gregory was born in Sandusky, MI on May 13, 1947, son of the late Arthur and Marjorie (Smith) Hendershot. He married Janet Hart in 1991 and will forever be remembered as a selfless husband and family man. Greg loved working as a bricklayer. He began working with his dad and his brothers before joining Bricklayers and Masons Local 2. Greg was an avid outdoorsman. He loved fishing and hunting, even volunteering with Wheelin Team 457 to take disabled people hunting and fishing. Greg was a devout Christian who was proud to have used his skills to help build a church in Africa. He was also very active in his church, The River Church of Davison, where he was on the security team. While Christ was always first in his life, it was clear that family was a close second.
