Greig was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force and later maintained involvement with the VFW Post 2866. After retirement, he enjoyed being a volunteer fire fighter for the Lakeview Arkansas District. Always putting family and friends first, Greig was happy when spending time with his loved ones at gathering and family reunions. His big heart and love of making others smile made it so he was always a joy to be around, especially during the holidays when he would be Santa Claus. For fun, Greig enjoyed playing card games like Rummy or Pinochle and traveling. His travels saw him scuba diving, boating, camping, and traveling across most of the United States and internationally with his family. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
