I'm truly crushed here, I remember our battle to rebuild our cars to make it to SITM - he won by a cam seal, only to smack a turkey on the way home. We've shared many a brew and booze at SITM and myself and wife both will miss him greatly. I don't know what else to say but he will be greatly missed, cars or none.

Greg was normally the one with the camera, so going back, I realize that there aren't many pictures of Greg out there. Here is good one from SITM 2011.

I went back though all the pics I took at SITM and 3rd Coast when he was here and he's not in a single one. Sorta depressing. So if you have them post them.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of this fine gentleman. He was hurt when accused of being a racist but in his typical fashion turned it around and called himself the resident ricist. SITM won't be the same without him.

Whoa!
Just saw this and can't believe it, very sad news.
We spent a wonderful day together and even went to Paul's hangar after some pizza a few years ago when I visited his shop. A real cool guy who was also very passionate about his beliefs and those who he considered friends.
It was a true pleasure knowing him.

OMG!
Been to his shop a few times and we would hang out and talk cars. He loved his 928 and American Muscle. I was so looking forward to going for another drive in the mountains.
Sometimes reality hits you right in the face!
He will be redlining his 928 with a Greg Brown stroker with some mad boost in the twisties in the sky!

Very sad news. I also enjoyed meeting Greg at 3rd coast 2010 and have enjoyed his posts here over the years.
I went through my 3rd coast 2010 pics an had only one with Greg in it....
Let's figure out a way to help his wife/family out. Hopefully someone local can make contact and find out what the needs are.

Very sad news indeed!
I didn’t really know Greg but did have the pleasure of meeting him. I was in Atlanta for business and he and Mike McLeod met me for pizza one evening.

It was a short encounter but I really did get the feeling that he was a great guy. I always enjoyed his posts on this forum and will miss his presence here.
May you rest in peace Greg. And may God bless your family and friends in their time of grieving.
