Greg was considered a gentle giant, a man of few words unless you knew him well or loved to fish as much as he did then he would talk for hours. He was never unkind, a man that had the patience of Job, funny, wise, wickedly smart on so many things, handy at just about everything, a true friend, he was known as UG & Greggie to his precious littles and Chief Chicken Feathers to his younger cousins. He played a mean game of poker, loved his time in Vinton County with his Finchum Family, travelling with his wife and experiencing new things, as long as they could drive. He most especially loved spending quality time with his family and friends. Greg was a professional fisherman most of his life and loved sharing his passion for fishing with anyone who was willing to listen and wanted to learn. His last act of selflessness on this earth was donating his organs and tissue to others. He was a true gem and hero that is greatly missed by all who knew him.
