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

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
