Happy National Chicken on the Bone Day! Aka...Greg/Red's Birthday! His favorite Birthday meal! Unfortunately I have a handicap for cooking meat on the bone, so that would be his dinner request 😋, and I never failed to get it for him. 

Wish he was still with us! 

Honey, you are very much loved and missed ❤️ ❤️ ❤️! Party on in people's memories!

Hi everyone, since I don't have control of the website itself, I thought I would give an update here. Greg's ashes and custom Urn are both on the way, I expect to have them both by next week. I will post a picture of the Urn upon receiving.

I want to thank everyone for their kind wishes, memories and contributions, both known and unknown from this site.

And although this is and will be a extremely emotional time for me, I would like to give my Sissy Shannon a special thank you for being my rock through this ♥.

Thanks again. NEVER forget Greg, he was one hell of a man!

Aunt Bonnie, know I am thinking of you and praying for you and Greg’s family. I’m thankful to have memories with him in my childhood, he was the coolest funniest uncle a niece could ever have. I will forever cherish those memories. I don’t think there was ever a time Greg wasn’t smiling or laughing whenever I seen him. I wish I could’ve visited more but after moving it was so hard. Just know I’m sending all of my love from Texas.
Love always, CoCo

What I will miss most about Greg is how he called me Sissy and his contagious and loud laughter. He was truly a one of a kind person that I will never forget. Nothing at all quiet about him with an accent I could never quite place but loved hearing him talk. He always had interesting stories to tell. It would be so "cute" seeing him get so excited over things, especially his nascar, Braves and Georgia Tech. I remember I used to tease him by cheering for the Dawgs just to get him riled up. For him being the loudest person I've ever known, he had his quiet moments too. Usually thinking hard on something, I remember commenting on this to him wondering if he was ok, most times he would just laugh and say he was good he was just waking up and giggle. I wish I had been in Georgia more to have more memories with him.

Last time I seen him was the beginning of March, just a little over a month ago. He had just been diagnosed with cancer. It was so hard seeing him so quiet. I remember lingering a bit before my drive home, hoping that would not be the last time I would see him, praying that I would see him this summer. I am thankful we were able to talk on the phone a couple days ago. I will forever miss him and forever be thankful that he was in my life no matter how short these 17 years have been.
