game he would be listening to it on the radio or watching it on TV. He also liked playing cards
and listening to music. He loved spending time with his kids and grandkids. Greg was a great
bowler and passed the love for it down to his kids and grandkids as well as his love for sports.
He taught his kids to be hard workers and that if they wanted anything in life then they would
have to get it by working hard.
