Greg was my supervisor for many years in the Criminal Intelligence Division. His passion for catching the bad guys and conducting investigations into organized crime was second to none. He was not one that I ever featured meeting such an untimely death and I am still in a state of shock. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends and fellow colleagues.

Uncle Greg was a huge inspirational figure in my life. When I think back to my childhood, I find so many vivid memories of him and I together. At and early age he taught me about the game of football, how to read a fishing stream and how to gut my first trout. He always made an effort to be a meaningful presence in my life and was there for me at nearly every major milestone throughout my youth.
I am honored to say that my Uncle Greg helped shape me into the man that I am today. His positive energy, sense of humor and laugher will forever be etched into my heart and soul. And although our loss feels like a hole that can never be filled I find comfort in knowing that he’s somewhere blissful now, some place warm and green by a shady tree hollering “fish on!” and surrounded with love.

Greg would do anything you needed at any time. He was ALWAYS talking about his girls and we spent many a day talking about hunting and fishing. He knew this job better then anyone!!! Rest in peace Greg!

I worked with Greg for many years both on the road and as a criminal investigator. He was HARD working and I always had no doubt that he would solve the case and make our county better. He was also friendly and fun to be around. Those of us who worked with him will NEVER forget him. RIP Greg.
