Greg spent his career of 47 years as a Upholsterer in Napa. He was department lead for 35 years at Dexta Corp, a medical/dental chair manufacturing company. He also enjoyed running his own upholstery business from home. His nickname was Stitcher, and knew his trade well, from furniture to automotive, and marine.

Greg was past President of NSGW, Yountville Parlor and enjoyed following in the footsteps of his father and father-in-law.

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by a sister, Marion Smith; and two brothers: Ronald Shouse and Michael Stephenson.
