I always knew what Greg was driving because every vehicle he drove had the Arkansas Hog on it...lol. We always spoke to each other and sometimes had a bit of small talk conversation about sports. I remember being in some Fedex bowling event and he showed up using a house ball and bowling in the used bowling alley shoes whipping everybody. I was shocked and a bit jealous because I had all of my personal bowling equipment and may have beaten me........He’ll be missed by me.
Greg trained me as a new Engineer and I always told Greg, I hope I learn as much about the job as he has forgotten. Greg always spoke his mind and you always knew where he stood, particularly with Golf and the Razorbacks. You will be missed my friend!

As a new manager I was always a bit terrified having to ask Greg a question. We all knew he would have the answer, one just never knew if he would actually say what he thought of you for asking the question. When I told him once that there are no dumb questions, he looked at me and just laughed, saying I had alot to learn.
You truly will be missed. May you Rest in Peace!

Sorry to hear about Greg's passing. He will always be a bright light to everyone who knew him. I appreciated his humor and wit. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
I am not even sure where to start. My heart breaks, and then I am filled with joy thinking of all the "horseshit" we went through in the 20 years I have known him. Whether it was him explaining to me what "It's raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock" meant, me pissing him off by spraying fart spray in his office just to hear him cuss at me (because that truly made me laugh), me talking crap about Arkansas & Dallas Cowboy football, or our talks at Savoy over a cinnamon roll, I always enjoyed us working together.
Thanks Goben, I will miss you... and WOO PIG SOOIE!
