Greg and I were fraternity brothers and teammates. He was a leader on and off the field. A fierce competitor with a giant heart. My deepest sympathies and prayers for Greg and the whole family.

Sorry to hear of Greg’s passing. I last saw him at a Wabash a couple years ago. I played football and graduated from Wabash with Greg. I’ll always remember what a great player he was. And especially the pass he caught to get us near the end zone in the final moments against Dayton.

Your family has my deepest sympathy. Greg and I worked together last summer. He shared his prognosis with me. We enjoyed many laughs, he shared his interesting past and we discussed world views. I would often text nor call just to check on him. This saddens me. I pray God’s peace and comfort to his loved ones.
Donna Thatcher

I was deeply saddened to hear of Greg’s passing. Greg and I were roommates at Wabash and spent a semester together in Oxford. I will cherish the countless memories we shared both on the football field and off.
My prayers to the entire family. He was some Little Giant.

Greg was my roommate and one of my best friends for 2 years at Wabash. I stood up at his wedding, and we took a couple trips together after college. He was a great guy, with that impish grin and endless jokes.
Seeing “Dollar Bill” Brady and “Mr XL” Kurt Lightcap’s entries above makes me truly remember the great times we had with Greg at the Kappa Sigma house. I will miss him deeply, and my deepest sympathies are with his family.
