His commitment to excellence and his country earned him the respect and admiration of his peers and superiors alike.

Away from his professional duties, Greg found solace and joy in the company of his dogs, Kihel and Bomber. He was an avid traveler, exploring the country in his RV and taking in the beauty of the landscapes he so dearly loved. A sports enthusiast, Greg's passion for football was unparalleled, and he was a fervent supporter of the Dallas Cowboys, celebrating their triumphs with the same vigor with which he served his nation.
