Gregg started fixing tires at age 14 in the family business, Weisser Oil. He was driving the mobile service truck by age 16. He carried on the family business until they sold the business in 2016. In 2019, he started his own tire business in rural Springfield, the Scuffed Knuckle Garage.

Gregg loved helping people. He was always there for his customers, no matter the time of day or what he had going on. He never met a stranger and always loved to strike up a conversation with anyone. Gregg’s favorite pastime was bragging about his wife and he always answered her phone calls with “Hello beautiful”. Gregg will be remembered for his late night conversations with his kids, for enjoying a good cigar with a Disaronno and spending time with his grandson, Daschle, and telling everyone he could about him.
