The family of Gregory Maltas, 58, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to honor their Hero for his funeral services, it would be our honor to do so.
Gregory Maltas enlisted in the U.S. Navy April 18, 1977 and served in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and various duty stations in the U.S. until his honorable discharge April 14, 1982 at the rank of E-5, EA2, Engineering Aide.
In civilian life Gregory was an Engineer and came from a long line of Engineers in the family.
He loved many things, sailing and diving, which he did for the Navy also, praising the Lord, and riding his motorcycle in the wind. He was a long time member of Bikers For Christ M/M until he became too ill to be active, but kept in touch with many of his club brothers over the years. To them he was always, and will forever be, known as "Greyman".
His wife describes him as a very kind, sweet and loving man, he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
Greyman is survived by his wife of 19 years, Robin, 2 daughters, 1 son, 3 grandchildren, and his 2 beloved bull mastiffs Blue and Samson.
