Greg leased cabin to me for over 25years on the lake where he lived in Moline we fished together all over Elk County sometimes all day and come back to the cabins and have a cold one or two setting on the deck overlooking the lake and he loved watching the full moon rise up over the Dam. I was also able to share these times with my Wife and Grandkids who will never forget Greg or those great cabin adventures. thanks Greg and rest in peace
