​Guided by his bond with his late Grandma, Greg has spent a lot of time with retired people. After college, he volunteered with older adults on a weekly basis and started a program that brought hundreds of other volunteers to a nursing home. When he travels to other cities to speak at a school or conference, he frequently does a separate private event for a nearby retirement community's residents. In some cases, he has served as 'Grandkid-in-Residence' at a community for seniors. Over the years, he has been given other fun roles involving seniors -- such as 'Grand(kid) Marshal' for the Vintage Games. SCROLL DOWN

The book (The Silhouette Man) based on Greg's story was honored in Canada as a book that celebrates the wisdom of seniors. The books and companion workbooks have been used with seniors -- including 55+, 62+, retirement & assisted living communities as well as chapters of organizations that involve seniors (e.g. Foster Grandparents, RSVP). The books also have been used with those who serve seniors, adults & youth who volunteer to support seniors, and/or intergenerational programs. ​During the pandemic, the books continued to be used extensively with seniors.
