He will be remembered as a man of great warmth and character, an optimist who embraced life with determination, fascination, courage, and humor. Greg began his banking career at National City Bank, where he rose to Head of Private Banking, then went on to executive positions at Fifth Third Bank, First County Bank (President), and hedge fund Corsair Partners (NYC). He was a member of the Vero Beach Yacht Club and former member and board member of the Kirtland Country Club.
