Lost a very good friend yesterday to cancer. A lot here will know him and also anyone that has been to the Classic in the bow shop area especially. GregB . He fought a good fight but the cancer won,prayers and thoughts for his wife Linda and son Jordan. He will be greatly missed by me and a lot of good friends.

Eddie texted me this afternoon and told me about Greg's passing. Very sad indeed. Greg was one of the first Twin Oaks folks I met many years ago. He gave me a tour of Twin Oaks in the Gator showing me especially the barn with all the Osage and hickory stacked up there. I look forward to seeing Greg every year at the Classic and worked along with him many times in the bow shop.
 RIP my friend. You will surely be missed.  :(

Yes he was a good man, having the funeral and celebration of life tomorrow so I am sure another sad day but also a lot of good stories and memories shared. :( I have always heard and truly believe that with what he has been going through over the last year he is in a much better place now so that give me some peace.  :)

My deepest condolences go out to Greg's family and his brothers at Twin Oaks.  Greg was a legend!  He and Anthony were the first 2 people I met from Twin Oaks while hunting at LBL many years ago.  He was intelligent, talented, a meticulous craftsman and willing to help anyone.  One one of the first few trips Greg brought some of his homemade wine which was excellent.  He gifted me a bottle and I ran back to my tent and hid it to enjoy at home.  On the ride home, my buddies confessed that they did the same thing because they wanted to savor a taste of Tennessee when they got home.  Rest well my friend and know they are telling stories of your triumphs.

Greg leaves a large gap around the campfire. Don't know if anyone could ever fill that space like he did.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
