First met Greg in the early 70’s when we both worked at a factory in Kankakee, Il. People we worked with introduced us bacause we both played guitar. We wound up playing together for many years and were the best of friends  when I moved back to my hometown Goreville in Southern Illinois Greg moved here too. Him and I played at my wedding in 1977. Had tried to locate Greg many times over the years to no avail, sadly I just found out about his passing So sorry I couldn’t have found him again years ago. Played with many guitar players over the years and always talked about Greg’s talent, the absolute best I’ve ever had the privilege of playing with , rest in peace my friend!

Rest in Peace my friend and among other things you were an amazing guitar 🎸 player.    Sincerely Mike Stearns
