I am so sorry for your loss. I live in Porter twp and met Greg several times over the years. Sometimes at the park he would be making sure the equipment was in good repair while I had my boys there playing. Sometimes he was out updating something for emergencies with the ambulances. He always had a kind word and took time to know the people of Porter twp and any of their concerns. I’m grateful to have had the chance to have met him a few times. My condolences to his family and friends.
