Mr. Fuller,
I am so sad for the loss of your son and my friend. Rest in peace Greg. Erika and I will truly miss you.
God bless you Mr. Fuller and God bless your son Greg.
Hallett Dave
PS:
I just went thru this thread from the beginning. All of you had kind words to say about our friend Greg.
I thank you for your civility.
Greg was asking me just two weeks ago, when I was going to get my pump to B 1 racing and looking forward to mashing the go fast pedals.
This is very hard for me.

RIP.

Very sad news. I only met him once when I pulled up to the dock by my self he got up and helped me tie my boat up. Totally didn't need to come help a stranger but he did. We chatted for a while like we knew each other for years. Very sad.

I know this sounds funny because I didn't really know him...but this news really saddens me and I can't quit thinking about it. He will be missed on the forums and by many in the boating community.

Likewise. It is very sad when we lose our buddies. Even if they're just forum buddies. Rest in Peace Greg and my sincere condolences to his family. :(

Wow, this is a shame. I didn't know Greg either, but having a boat like his, V-drive 21 Howard, I was always interested in his pictures and stories. RIP :(

Such a huge loss. Always a cheerful, always paying complinents to others machinery, always there if you needed anything. Everyone in Gasoline Alley (Badenochs pocket area) feels so bad of this catasprohic loss. Especially me.
See you in a little while Greg,
Denny

I still remember the famous BOX ANCHOR incident last summer.

Greg met us at sandbar resort and was going to hang out for the day. He had just got a brand new anchor and was itching to try it out. I'm cracking up as in type this, Greg walks out there all bad ass and shit, rope in one hand and anchor in the other. He gives that anchor one hell of a toss, problem is he didn't connect the rope. So there goes a brand new anchor soaring through the hot Arizona sun. The look on his face I will never forget. It was priceless.

We looked for almost an hour that day and nothing.

Thanks Greg for a memory that will always be on my mind.

I wish I would have known him better but the few times we crossed paths he was a great guy... We laughed every time the box anchor story was brought up last year...

To his family and for those of you that were much closer to him I am sorry for your loss...

Bummer deal... :(

RIP Greg. I had the opportunity to hang out with him a few times and he was always smiling. He came over to the upper sandbar and even gave some of my buddies rides in his boat. He will be missed!

Man... I'd have liked to seen him one more time. Believe it or not, Greg taught me how to sail. We were in sixth grade and he lived on a lake and we would go damn near every afternoon to his dock and sail his lazer. Man, we liked speed then, and still. I hooked back up with Greg on this board. Saw a picture of him and that Spectra, after not seing him for 25 years, and knew right away that it was him. We talked a bunch and made "tentative" plans to have a beer; go for a boat ride... Well, never happened & now never will. Cheers to him and all of his river friends. You'll be missed, kid.

So sad to hear about Greg's passing. I still have a video on my phone of him a few weekends ago at RoadRunner. I watched it and couldn't help but smile. Every time I saw Greg he always had a smile on his face and seemed to be enjoying life to the fullest. If he was on the water you could always look forward to a speed run or six from Greg wherever you were watching from shore. RIP buddy. Make sure to have a cold one with Danny and Trevor. We'll miss you on the water.

What a bum deal...I heard about that this weekend and couldn't believe it. One of the 1st times I met him is when Dave asked me to make that video and Dave asked if Greg could ride along...no worries and we were off. The man loved to go fast and have a few pops...I will miss BS ing with him...RIP.

All smiles!

That's the same night I keep thinking about. Was an epic night fir sure. He will be missed for sure. He was one of ghost people I was always excited to run into at the bar.

Sorry for the loss of your Brother. Thank you for posting your thoughts. He definitely had a lot of friends at the river. Like I said in my post, I only met him once and was looking forward to seeing him again this weekend in Needles. I really can't quit thinking about this unexpected loss.

Just got the news. I met Greg years back at Fox's, always a highlight to bump into on the Strip. Last time I saw him was in November. Sad news. RIP Greg.

It was always so much fun to see that "blue boat" hauling the mail all over, and over, and over again at the river. I can honestly say that I've never seen someone drive their boat all day long like Greg did. He is a fixture in Parker that will be missed greatly. In 20 years he will be a true legend with people that knew and did not. "Hey remember that blue Spectra that was on the gas all day long, that was cool!! Those were the days"

RIP and thanks for all the memories to come.
