Greg was the ultimate student. He graduated from Menomonee Falls High School in 1968 and went on to the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he earned his BS, MS and Ph.D in political science.

Aside from work, Greg enjoyed golf, sports, lake life on Okauchee Lake and travel. He spent endless hours on the practice range and enjoyed golfing at North Hills Country Club. He was an avid fan of the Badgers, Brewers, Bucks and, of course, the Packers.
Greg lived with Parkinson's Disease for over 20 years with grace, dignity and perseverance to live life to its fullest. Special thanks to his many friends who offered help and a friendly hand as needed. Greg's family is deeply indebted to his caregivers at the Mierow House at Azura Memory Care – Brookfield and from St. Croix Hospice for the wonderful care they provided.
