Greg was the hardworking owner and operator of Causley Trucking, a family company founded in 1941 by Greg’s father. He was well respected throughout the trucking industry and by his many employees as well. Throughout life, Greg remained a staunch U of M fan. In Greg’s free time, he enjoyed time spent up north at his hunting ranch, affectionately known by the kids as his “Wood House.” He also loved hockey, especially following the Detroit Red Wings and Saginaw Spirit, golfing, and math games; Greg was a wonderful mathematician, and he put those skills to good use at his family business each day.
