Greg was born February 17, 1956 in the Corona Naval Hospital in Corona, California the son of Floyd Tim and Darlene (Turner) Pease. He grew up in Houston, Texas enjoying comic books, good music, dancing, fast cars, and classic T.V. shows like Hogan’s Heroes. Greg enjoyed life’s activities to the fullest, especially while playing golf, playing chess (attaining an expert rating and competing in various Texas venues), water and snow skiing, fishing, camping and above all paying close attention to his daughters’ wellbeing and education. Greg received his BA from St. Edwards University in Austin and his MBA from the University of North Texas in Denton. He married Sharon Wang in 1987, and they had two children, Katherine and Julia. The education of his children was the most important thing to Greg and he personally oversaw much of it. His daughters were enrolled in piano, gymnastics, and martial arts. At his behest, both girls went to every state in the USA, except 5, often via his long hours of driving. Greg maintained his carpet and furniture cleaning business in Denton, Texas. Only a few days prior, and while still hopeful that his cancer would be defeated, Greg expressed his strong belief in the hereafter to his dad, and said he expected to be in Heaven when his time came. He will be remembered with love by his “little sister” Stacia, dad, and daughters for the many small unspoken things that made him who he was. He was preceded in death by his mother Darlene and his younger brother Randy.
