Greg was sharp wit, big laugh and deep knowledge of history. Greg was a truly one-of-a-kind soul, Greg brought humor and insight to every room he entered.
Greg had a lifelong passion for history – especially the events of World War I and II. He could recount battles, strategies and stories with remarkable detail, often turning what seemed like dry facts into fascinating tales. His love for the past never faded, and he enjoyed sharing what he learned with friends and family, often with a healthy dose of his trademark humor.
Greg found peace in fishing – whether on the lake or at his favorite quiet spots, he loved the calm and patience of it. He was also a devoted sports fan, proudly cheering for the Cleveland Browns and Guardians.
A private service will be held in Greg’s honor.
Arrangements have been entrusted with Stombaugh-Batton & Snyder Funeral Home, Carey.
