He was a great person. He was my State Farm Insurance Agent and a good friend for 28 years since he started working there. He was always so professional and I never had to worry about my coverages of my insurances. He always took care of it all for me!

Greg was the best insurance guy! I'm so shocked and saddened to hear about his passing; still in disbelief.

We have been customers since Otto and stayed on with Greg. We loved how Greg was so responsive and made you feel like your issues mattered. He always helped us make good choices and always looked out for us. When my in-laws place had a significant fire, they had State Farm through another broker, but we called Greg to ask questions and not only did he answer them, he visited us at their home several times and was so supportive of our family and helping us with everything even though he was not their State Farm agent.

You can't find businesses and honestly people like that who treat you so well and value their customers.

Our prayers to Greg's family during this time. We are so sorry for your loss.
