Out of high school Greg joined the Navy and after being discharged spent most of his life in Washington State working in many lines of work; paint, body work, restoring cars and all kinds of painting mostly. After leaving Washington he spent 6 years in Thailand, learning their culture and enjoying a far simpler way of life. With declining health, he had to return to the states, settling here in Arkansas, where he fit right in with us.
Arrangements were made under the direction of Thornton Funeral Home of Mount Ida, Arkansas. Guest register at thorntonfh.com.
