Known affectionately as “Kodak Konte,” Greg had an eye for capturing the beauty in everyday moments. He carried his camera everywhere, always ready to preserve a memory. He loved nature, long hikes, classic rock, and animals. He was a car enthusiast and collector of fine items. Greg was a beloved uncle to many nieces and nephews. He truly loved the time he spent with his family building their family home in Leroy Township that created many fond memories and stories for all that visited.
