Obituary

Greg, 62, died June 27, 2017. He graduated from high school in Gold Beach, Oregon, where he played baseball and ran cross country. Greg jumped at North Cascades in 1975 and got his degree in accounting from Southern Oregon College in 1977. He started his accounting career with the Arthur Young firm where he spent nine years. In 1990 Greg started his own business, building it up to nearly 500 clients at his passing. Greg was involved in many boards over the years, but his two passions were: Community Vision, an organization that helped physically and mentally challenged adults live and work on their own in group and individual homes, and the Portland Rescue Mission where he served the underprivileged and homeless.
