Greg Tann was a true friend.. I enjoyed spending time with him on and off our boats. He was always trying to wrestle someone. Greg never had a bad word to say about anyone. He loved the lake and the blues. I will miss him daily.
From growing up watching him fish to boat riding, he took me to the circus as a child and winery when I grew up. We would listen to the Cadillac record’s soundtrack and eat cheese. He was the most hospitable person I’ve ever known! He had an open door. I miss our boat rides and cooking together. Greg you were one of my favorite people. I miss you dearly.
