Greg chose to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 1968 and was called to the Northern Far East (Japan) Mission. He had many fond memories of his mission which he often shared with his family. He also brought home with him an affinity for Japanese food which he has passed down to many of his children and grandchildren. Many times growing up he made gyoza for our family and he often brought sushi home for everyone to try.

On May 27, 1972 he married his high-school sweetheart, Saundra Sue Moffat, in the Idaho Falls Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Greg and Saundra brought four children into that union and raised them in a happy home in Rexburg, ID. He was a wonderful husband and father to his family who loved him very much. He was an outstanding role model not only to his close family but to many others that he met along the way.

He loved his time as the sheriff and the opportunity to serve those around him and he made many lifelong friends during his time there.
