Greg was a great friend of mine who I met on the job and fishing buddy, always gave me good advice...a truly unique rare individual whom I'm glad I had the chance to know. We always talked about our next fishing trip and how we couldn't wait to hit the lake, 😔...It saddens me to find out that he transitioned on & it just happened to be on my birthday! It's rare to have someone to call a genuine good friend and you never know when the last time you'll speak to that person...so cherish every moment if you have someone like Greg in your life. R.I.P. brother you will be missed & to his family, I'm so sorry for your loss, please reach out if you need help or support with anything!
