His obituary didn't show what kind of hard working man Greg was. He loved his family and the Detroit Tigers. Greg has been missed and it is a shame he isn't here to celebrate his 60th. I am sure it would have been a great party!
Happy Birthday in heaven, Greg. Greg's Find a Grave memorial can be found here.
