Greg was a skilled and talented craftsman and a member of the Carpenter’s Union. He was an avid biker, which included an endurance ride from New Jersey to the Florida Keys and a recreational ride from New Jersey to California. He enjoyed and was inspired by photography and making movies for his grandchildren to enjoy. Greg was a devoted NY Giants fan, never missing a game or a chance to chat about highlights. He was kind, quiet, patient, and unassuming – he found happiness is the everyday, inspiring all to achieve what you set out to do, no matter what age.

The last four years of Greg’s life were a battle. He was a quiet warrior, that fought to live life for his family. His family of angels cared for him unconditional until the end. His infectious smile will be missed forever.
