Greg managed his landscaping and personal services business until he became ill in 2014. When asked what he did for a living his reply was âI help old people stay in their homesâ. He was loved and appreciated by his many customers who considered him one of their own family. Greg enjoyed being outdoors whether working, taking long walks, or hiking in the White Mountains.
Greg was an avid football fan and loved to see the NE Patriots lose. He loved animals and always had a cat or a dog following him around.
