    Greg held many jobs during his lifetime, he was a sandblaster, a house mover, worked in the nursery industry, and was a deckhand on a tugboat. But the job he was most proud of was being a Paw Paw. He loved his grand babies beyond belief and made sure to tell each one that "you know you're my favorite". He was a fixture around the Fairview/Semmes community where he ran a fruit stand and garden center, selling everything from boiled peanuts to wooden swing sets and Christmas trees. You could find him on the side of the road selling watermelons and ferns during the summer months. He loved interacting with the public and making people laugh.
