Gregory graduated from Minisink Valley High School in 2009. He was currently a co-owner of New Hampton Lawn Care, with his brother Steven. They perfectly complimented each other and were a great team. Gregory had a huge heart and was always willing to lend a helping hand. He was loved by so many and was so very kind and sweet natured. He was a protective brother and was extremely loving and devoted to his family.
Greg will live on to touch so many lives with the gift of life through organ donation. We will always be very proud of him. He made everyone happy just by being around them. He cared for people, animals and his community. His death and the rare circumstances have overwhelmed his family and friends.
