Greg was born in Atlanta, Georgia to Alfonso and Agnes Nettie Shields on December 7th 1954. He served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War period, and was honorably discharged. He was extremely proud of being a Veteran!
Greg met the true love of his life, his high school sweetheart Mary, and they were married on June 5th 1976. They both attended and graduated from Booker T.
