Gregory J. Couture

Born in Maine on October 19, 1957 to Richard and Marjorie Couture, Greg grew up in Oakfield, New York, where he was a 1976 graduate of OACS High School. Greg attended Paul Smith’s College where he graduated with a degree in Restaurant Management. He was instrumental in opening many restaurants throughout the United States. Later, Greg owned and operated Mother Nature’s Irrigation and Landscaping. Greg was a very hard worker and had a very strong work ethic. As a faithful member of Corpus Christi Catholic Church, Greg was a Fourth Degree with the Knights of Columbus. In this capacity, Greg felt very strongly about community service and giving back to the Church he so loved.
