Mind you he would also make it quite clear where he stood on things he didn't approve of, such as radio control modeling and Harley Davidson's.
Thanks to all those that attended Greg's funeral on behalf of those that couldn't make it.
He was a real character and we're all going to miss him.

I must have been the last person in the flying community to hear of GP's passing. I was totally floored when I heard the news from a work colleague today.
I have fond memories of flying with GP at Kendell and Rex and he was always good for a wind up and a laugh. A genuinely lovely bloke who I had many enjoyable flights and chats with as we flew around South Aus. It was so great to see him finally get his long awaited break into the jet world and now its such a tragedy to see it all taken from him.
My sincere condolences to his family and those that knew him and were close to him.
You were a true gentleman GP. You may have "shuddem down" one last time but you won't be forgotten.
Rest in Peace GP.
