He was passionate about his calling to help and care for anyone that he was around. Greg loved his family, golf, and ice cream.
Greg is survived by his wife of 26 years, Christine, his sister Gale Drummond, daughter Rachael Ren, son-in-law Andrew Ren, step-sons Derek and Travis Worth, grandsons Jamie Ren and Carter Worth, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Greg was preceded by his mother and father Lee and Doris Lain.
