Greg was a longtime member of Liberty Church, formerly known as Calvary Tabernacle Church. Greg had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel special. He enjoyed the company of his closest friends. He loved being with his family and wanted nothing more. Greg was dedicated to his daily workouts and living an active life. Greg also loved to dance and found great joy and peace in listening to worship music, which reflected the deep faith that guided his life. He enjoyed fishing with his sons-in-laws. He took great pride in caring for and looking after his mother and father-in-law, Robert and Audrey Wade.
