He was born March 7, 1948 in Cleveland, Ohio to Norman Bluhm and Thelma Nadine (Harris) Bluhm.

As a teenager, Greg built his own HAM Radio and throughout his life enjoyed talking with people all over the world. This led to his work in Electrical/Electronic fields, retiring from Dingee Machine in New Hampshire where we worked wiring firetrucks, which he enjoyed very much.  Greg was a Pilot, with his love of flying coming from his parents who were also Pilots, and something he had in common with his brothers Noel and Curt.

Greg was a self-sufficient true Mountain Man, living in a 200 year old log home without electricity or phones. He loved hiking the mountains with his pet goats. He lived in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont area until retiring in 2014, when he moved back to Alliance to be near his family.
