Default So Sad

Barry..My brother in law has a summer home in Coe Hill and all the brothers in laws (6 of them)and family's meet every year there around Warrior days..and have all been up to his place in Bancroft and seen all his watches..guns..and vehicles..his machine shop..paint booth ..body shop..engine bay ..office and 6 car storage building..and his 600 acre mountain playground..
Greg could do anything mechanical and did with his golden hands..weld ..paint ..body work..leather work..fabricate...He completely restored the 3"Mortar carrier except he farmed out the engine,althought he removed and reinstalled it by himself with his 8 year old grandsons(at the time,s help)
A very good friend and I'm sad to hear of his passing..his grandson ,who was the love of Greg's life ..has lost a great guiding and loving light..
RIP Greg we will miss you..Greg was pushing 80.....
Greg was a moving force behind Warrior days..we have all lost a great information and moving force in the military vehicle restoration hobby.
Alex Blair,Greg's friend
