Greg loved animals, nature, swimming, and running as a child until he found music in his youth, which quickly consumed his hours; listening to music and learning all of his favorite songs.

While working at Grant’s department store, he met his future wife, Sally.  They adventured across the country as the band, Common Touch.  When this adventure came to end, they returned to western Pennsylvania and made the region their home.

While Greg worked as a steel worker, most knew him for his dedication to work safety for himself and his coworkers.  He continued to pursue music, playing in cover bands throughout his life and his favorite hobby was fishing; spending hours catching fish and then releasing them back to the waters to be caught again another day.
