Gregory was born on July 22, 1951, in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, to Theodore and Ellen (Burkum) Kobs. He graduated from Adams-Friendship High School and went on to earn his bachelor's degree from UW–Stevens Point, where he was a proud member of the student organization SIASEFIS.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother-in-law, Rick Klein.

Greg is survived by his loving wife, Patty; his children, Isabela (Derek) Fagen and Alexander Kobs; his siblings, Cindy Klein, Tammy (Dave) Klinzing, Todd Kobs, and Debra (Fred) Renner; along with nieces, nephews, extended family members, and many friends.
