Greg lived through his school years in Belle Plaine, Knoxville, Ottumwa, Albuquerque, NM and Palo Alto, CA. He graduated from Denton High School in Denton, Texas.
His mother, Marianne, died prior to his senior year in high school. Upon graduation he lived three years in Montreal, Canada with his father and then returned to Texas where he entered the trades as a floor covering specialist, and he continued in this craft throughout his life. He was recognized by his co-workers as having exceptional expertise and he considered it important to excel at his work. His grandmother, Betty Rust, had always instilled the principle that the quality of the job is less important than the quality of the work. Greg practiced that principle; he was good at his craft.
His last few years were marked by failing health brought by the demands of his work and his life-style. Greg was a loving person with an abiding faith in God.
