Known as “Mossy” by his closest friends, Greg enjoyed vacations to the National Parks and especially the mountains. He remained very proud of Purdue University and his favorite shirts always had the Purdue logo.  He was very proud of his sons and their accomplishments.  The greatest joy of his life was his grandchildren.  He loved playing with them and watching their activities. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.   Greg will be greatly missed by his family and friends!
