Greg's Story

Hello, Well, fresh out of L.P. High I worked for General Motors for six years, during this period I started the first of two company's that I co-owned with a family member and a close friend. Fuctioning as a owner/sometimes operator for a combined 17 years and working full time kept me real busy. Socially, I have had what I would consider two charished relationships before meeting my wife, Maria. Maria and I dated for a couple of years before marrying in 1999 at the Roostertail in Detroit, an outdoor ceremony on the waterfront, with our reception a Hawaian theme and Ragae steel drum music indoors at the same facility. We honeymooned in the Caribean, and on the Golf side of Florida traveling from Siesta Key to Key West.We will celebrate our 10th year of marriage July 25th( boy I'm glad I remembered that date,big with women) of this year in ludington Mi. on the beechfront,surfice to say we are very much beech people. In addition , our family now consists of two children Cameron Joeseph, born 12/16/2000 a healthy boy at Oakwood Dearborn and Sienna Alexis 8/16/2007 a healthy girl, also, born at Oakwood Hospital,what a blessing,the birth of a child. Funny,I still have'nt gotten over the looks of that plasenta after birth situation in the stainless steel tray,we donated Sienna's plasenta and ambilical cord to a medical research company called Via Cord,I would like to share with you a related story. Via Cord happens to sponsor Rusty Wallace the big Nascar Racing star.That evening as a result of our donation, we were treated to meeting Rusty,his film crew, and his entourage of body guards. They all flew via helicopter,landed on the hospital life flight pad, and upon making their rounds piled in our little hospital room. The hospital Director asked prior to their arrival if they could film our visit for Via Cord, I agreed. This left my wife scrambling to look good, she was not happy that I agreed to let them film the visit after giving birth and feeling so run down. Sorry Rusty, no offense, neither one of us really new of you or your career in Nascar we are Indy Race Car fans, you know, like Mario Andretti or Al Unser. This made the visit difficult to be excited about or communicate,we all kind of looked at each other and the baby for a few moments in silence,however, the nurses sure were excited to see Rusty. Rusty eventually sensed our distress and broke the ice. As it turns out, Rusty,was very nice and a real gentleman. Upon leaving, Rusty kissed my wife and newborn,left with bag in hand minus stainless tray ambilicle cord and all, sort of speek. This was a u...Expand for more
nique experience associated with the birth of Sienna. Maria and I, have always maintained close relationships with childhhood, school years, and college friends. As a circle of friends we all enjoy boating,dining out,concerts,festivals and trips whenever possible to sunny Mexico beeches and Florida for the most part. Tying our boats up together with friends at various locations on the water during sunny weekend days and boat hopping is always great fun. We enjoy Bar-B-Qs snorkeling,swimming,music and rafting during these get togethers, and, oh ya maybe as much as our old body's will alow, a little partying. We have developed many new relationships throughout the years and find this is a great way to link up with old friends and family members as well. Back to my career, did I say career that sounds funny, work life?, well, anyway, after doing a few short years in jail, I left G.M in the summer of 89 for a better life and or position at Monsato Inc. where I now have worked for 20yrs of hard labor, Maria says "yeh right".During this period I obtained my Associate in Science Degree - Government,Hospital, and Facility Maintenance(boy say that twice) basically a glorified scheduler/fixer for any given facility that experiences various problems. I have sold my other endeavours demanding my time and attention in order to spend more time with my family. Oh yeh, the jail thing,you caught that, just kidding, it was only one year, got ya, really no jail time so far for me or my L.P.H.S buds, amazing. Maria has worked a combined 15 plus years in her career as a teacher with degrees in Early Childhood Development/Reading. Maria has taught in various tri county area districts and reached a Masters level in education from Madona University. I believe Maria may have viewed me as somewhat of a student during our dating period,well,she gave me a passing grade when all was said and done. Fortunatly, our extended family members are all well,however, Maria and I have both lost close friends. We all lost Robby Vasques, which, most of you probably knew from our class Robby was a husband and dedicated father and step father as well as one of my most loved friends. In addition I lost a very close cousin , these deaths shook me deeply, God took them to soon. This seemed to be an even more rectifier for me to put an order of family, friends, and prayer as a #1 focus in my life. Well,enough about me and my family, got to go, hope things are well with you and your family's, God bless you, good health & prosperity, hope to see you soon? Greg
