Known for his generosity and excellence, Greg made a lasting impact both in and out of the classroom, coaching wrestling and youth soccer.

After retirement in 2009, Greg and Debby returned to Midland, where he embraced his love for history by becoming a docent for the High Sky Wing of The Commemorative Air Force. He will be remembered for his dedication to education and unwavering support for those around him.
