Greg was the loving husband of Sheila Gervase-Cain and father to Laurie (Bruce) Elliott and Jeff (Melissa) Cain. He was a grandpa to Collin and Evan Elliott and Abigail Cain, and his love extended to the roles of “Father” to Jolene (Matt Moscato) Falkner and Jonathan (Dani Guerriero) Gervase, as well as beloved Papa to Camden and Davin Falkner. He also held a special place in the hearts of his "grandkids" Nicki and Jessie, and great-grandpa to Nina, Hopper, Mabel, Micah, and Ana, who affectionately called him "Grandpa Greg."

Greg was a treasured brother to Cindy McCrary and will be missed dearly by family and friends.

He was also a national past president of The Vietnam Security Police Association, as well as a life member of the VFW and American Legion Post 71, Lake Wales, Florida. A proud United States Airforce Veteran, who was awarded a Warriors Medal of Valor stowed upon by the Native American Nations of the United States of America.
