October 15, 2020 1:49 PMI've known Greg ever since we were kids growing up in the Harbor. The fire department was his life and he always had a passion for it. He was humorous, energetic and caring. As often happens, friends drift away and get busy with their lives so its been many years since I had a chance to see Greg. I was saddened to hear this morning of his passing. Greg will always be remembered by me as a kind man with a huge heart who cared for his fellow man. I will miss him.
