I've been looking back over the conversations I had with Greg over the past years. We had talked about his spinners, his HW97K that he had sold to me back in April 2022, we had talked last year about him thinking about selling his D34, also about me buying one of his HW50S sometime in the future.  I chuckled at reading the word "groovy" he used on more than one occasion.

Prayers for Martha and his family.

Hey Guys,
Just now reading this and sad to hear ... as (OldGringo) Greg was one of the most honest, down to earth members who frequented the German Gate :(.
Loved his no nonsense posts about shooting his HW30's at 30 yards in his backyard ;).
His voice will definitely be missed!
