died Jan. 11, 2024.
He was born in
Akron, Ohio, and
made his way to Columbus,
where he first started his career

Chicago, where he met Jen, and

Greg was happiest with a rac-

his passion while also dabbling
in squash, paddle and pickle ball.
It was on the court that he made
so many friends, who, along with
their families, gave Greg, Jen and
Ethan a loving and supportive
community. Greg loved his fam-
ily dearly and was a friend to
anyone who crossed his path. He
never missed an opportunity to
say how grateful he was for this
beautiful life.
Greg is survived by his wife
of 16 years, Jennifer Cliff; son,
Ethan Cliff; sister and broth-
er-in-law, Jessie and Bill Lane;
father-in-law, Randall Weil;

of the late Carol “Sparky” Weil.
