Most recently, Greg was employed by The Restaurant Depot. Greg married Pam McGhee, February 16, 2011. His love was evidenced in the unabashed affection that he always displayed to his Queen. His love for her never wavered, whether times were good or bad, happy or sad. Greg was extremely competitive and well known for talking trash against any and all opponents, particularly those that he played cards against. He was always the winner in his eyes, even when he lost a game. He was a sports enthusiast. Greg was an avid New York Giants fan. He loved watching football with his family, who all happened to be fans of opposing NFC East teams. As you can imagine, this certainly made for some eventful Sunday afternoons during football season. Greg always had a jovial spirit and he loved to laugh. Many will remember the visuals of the countless snapchat footage of Greg posing, while using one of his favorite funny filters. His lovely smile will forever be imprinted in our hearts. Greg enjoyed time spent with his older sister Keisha, of whom he was very protective. Most recently Greg made a concentrated effort to further strengthen his relationships with those that he loved, his children and grandchildren in particular.
