Greg Belnap Clary "Meet Me on the Shores of Heaven" HOOPER, UT- Greg Belnap Clary passed away on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, surrounded by his loving family. His long battle with cancer never took away his smile and hopes. He out-lived many of the predictions of his doctors with his will to live. Greg was born September 28, 1951, in Ogden, Utah, to Glenn and Joyce Belnap Clary. He was raised and educated in Hooper where he had a wonderful childhood. He later moved to Santa Ana, CA where he met and married Jan Henkel. They were later divorced but remained partners for life. Just before his death they were married once again to bring everything "full circle". Greg was a talented musician who spent most of his life finding joy in his music. He played in many successful bands and toured the states with "Hotspurz", "Hired Gun" and "Wasatch Back." He opened for many well known artists and in 1981 played at the Grand Ole' Opry. He will be missed by all that played on stage with him. He was currently employed by Swift Transportation. He enjoyed his many friends and co-workers, always quick with a joke. The family would like to thank the many co-workers at Swift for their friendship and love. Greg is survived by his wife, Jan; sons, Ian, Seth, Zane (Jennifer) and a daughter, Jade; his parents, Glenn and Donna Clary; a brother, Jeff (Judy) Clary; sisters, Kim Collier and Robin Leversen; many nieces and nephews that loved him so much; and two grandchildren, Riya Elizabeth and Kyler Greg (Buba).
