Greg was a good, kind, and honest man who loved helping others. His long service as a firefighter is proof of that. I had the privilege of working with him at Florence Fire/EMS. He was a great friend and firefighter brother. Rest Easy Brother. To Greg’s family, my heartfelt condolences and prayers during this difficult time. God Bless you.

My sincerest condolences to your family. Greg was a huge influencer for my fire service career. His work ethic and dedication, which were shown to me at a young age, helped me develop into the person I am today. He coached me when I needed it, instead of getting frustrated with me. I will never forget him

Rose and Family, I am so sorry to hear about Plug's passing. I'm glad I was able to get to know you both during my time at CDC. He was such a great guy and I feel fortunate to have been able to work with him. Jane and I will be thinking of you and your family during this very sad time.

So sorry for Greg’s passing. The short amount of time he spent on our unit, brought a lot of laughs to our staff! He always had something funny to say. Prayers to the Aylor family, Greg was a good man and we could tell how much he loved his family.
