He joined the United States Navy in 1966, at just 17 years old. Gregory proudly served his country and was stationed in Jacksonville, Florida. After Gregory’s return home from the Navy, he pursued a lifelong career in the automotive industry. He finished his career at Jack Daniels Volkswagen in Fairlawn, NJ in 2015. Among all of his achievements in the car business, one of his proudest was having his son, Gregory, Jr follow in his footsteps.
