Greg was a former police officer in Grayson, Kentucky. Greg served 30 years and retired from the Bureau of Federal Prisons. His career included service in Ashland, KY, Washington, D.C., Schuylkill County, PA, and Coleman, FL. He also owned a successful lawn business. In retirement, he was a partner and General Manager at Recycler’s Cross Dock in Leesburg, FL.
Greg was a familiar face around Leesburg. He was often found at Sonic buying ice, at Wawa for a snack, or hanging out with friends at Ramshackles or one of his favorite BBQ restaurants. Most often, he was found out and about in the community helping others. Everyone who knew Greg knew that he could provide anything you needed from the back of his truck.
Greg loved riding his Harley motorcycle. He loved playing poker, fishing, and NASCAR. He was an avid fan of the Kentucky Wildcats and enjoyed watching the games. In the last three years, he loved being a “GG” to his granddaughter.
