Greg grew up in the Montreal area and was a graduate of Camdenton High School in the Class of 1981. Following graduation, Greg enlisted in the United States Air Force and proudly served his country for four years. After he was honorably discharged, Greg worked for the C.I.A. for six years. He later worked at Modine as a welder for seventeen years. Together, Greg and Jenny owned and operated Fry’s Montreal Quick Stop as 3rd generation owner/operators. Greg loved to farm and ran his farm for nearly thirty years.

Greg’s children brought him great joy. He cherished the time spent with them and always made sure that they knew that he was proud of each of them.

In his spare time, Greg enjoyed gardening, fishing with his kids, working on his farm, taking numerous trips with his family and was known for his sense of humor. He loved taking walks with his wife, Jenny. He served as a member of the Montreal Cemetery Committee and was a member of the Camden County Soil and Water Conservation District for many years.

Greg was a loving husband, father, proud grandpa, father-in-law, brother and uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and accomplishments and will treasure the many wonderful memories he has created for his family and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 pm, Thursday, March 14, 2024, in the Buffalo Prairie Baptist Church, Montreal, Missouri. Burial with full military honors will follow in Montreal Cemetery.
