He was born in Rochford hospital and resided in Shoebury for the first years of his life. The majority of his formative years were spent in the USA. He met his to-be wife Michelle on commute to Mtachbox where they both worked. This relationship ended up lasting the rest of his adult life.

They have been together in both the best and worst of times. They endured financial hardship aspiring one day to achieve what eventually became quality of life my dad was able to enjoy in the last years of his life.

He had a truly amicable character that made a lasting impression on everyone he met. He was a stranger to no one that everyone knew personally as a very kind and lively person.

After 10 wonderful years together he finally married my mother in 1993. He raised 3 children, who he loved dearly.

His three children gained independence, he was finally able to afford a lifestyle that he had always wanted. He enjoyed multiple wonderful holidays with his wife. Just before he passed, he managed to acquire the car of his dreams

They left a legacy of three children and a huge number of friends that he had made along the way. He died a happy man that was content with his life. He will be forever missed by us all and remembered as the loving father he was.

A truly caring, helpful person with a heart of gold.
Always putting others before himself.
At a drop of a hat he would assist anybody in need, truly an angel, who will be truly welcomed with open arms at those pearly gates.
I will alway remember the truly good times we had laughing together and our he helped me through some difficult times without hesitation.
Greg was a great friend of mine and more importantly a great Husband and father.
My thoughts are with you Michelle, Eric, Brandon and Amy.
I know Greg was very proud of you all.
God bless you Greg..

  • I wasn’t sure, but now, as I see this pic, I say RIP dear friend. I went to school with him in the US. Although I’m late, I send my condolences to his beautiful family.
