Greg will be remembered as a “jokester”.  He would joke with everyone and he was known at Goodyear as the guy who would bring all the goodies, especially Doris’ chili that was so hot it would make his coworkers eyes water.  He was the type of man who always did anything for other people and was someone who you could always count on.

Wheeler III of Waterloo, IA, Donna Wheeler and Ellen Wheeler Charon both of Topeka, and grandchildren, Nick Jones, Toby Jones of Topeka, Michael Rogers and Marcus Rogers of Kansas City, Mo., and three great grandchildren.  After her passing he moved to Miami, Florida where he married Antonette Hamilton who survives him. Her children are Adamariz Hamilton and Reynaldo Abreu whom he helped raise.  He is also survived by a sister, Sandra Sue Curtis, step brother, Ron Davey and step sister Billie Beck.   He was predeceased by his parents, Bertrand and Evelyn Glasscock, stepmom Alma Glasscock, brother Geffory Glasscock and a grandson Zackery Stephan.
