Sad to hear. I met Greg in the mid '80s - connected via a Pontiac friend who lived in the same town in New Jersey as Greg, and had suggested I look him up for advice on switch pitch converter TH400 transmissions, as I was planning to put one in my '67 Firebird 400. I remember him being very helpful, and that he had a very fast black GS Stage 1 (back before most of the rest of the world had caught on to their potential). He was a "legend" among the local car guys even then.

My Buick friend just told me about it yesterday. Very sad news. He ported 4 sets of cylinder heads and intakes for my friend. Everything from Stage 1 heads to Stage 4 TA heads. They always performed flawlessly. Never an issue. He was huge in the Buick community and will be sincerely missed. RIP
