When Greg became the Sports Editor of the Daily Local News in 2007, he was
surprised to discover that there was nothing in place to honor the great athletes
from Chester County. So Greenday teamed up with Jerry Schneider and Charlie
DiMarco and turned the Chester County Sports Hall of Fame into a reality, working
tirelessly to get the endeavor off the ground in the span of about 18 months.
Greenday passed away suddenly in the spring of 2010 at the age of 61, and now he
is enshrined into the organization he had such an integral part in starting. A native
of Chester, Greenday was on the staff at the Delaware County Daily Times for 23
years, and the biggest chunk came with the sports department. During his relatively
short stint at the Daily Local News, Greenday also threw his energy and influence
into building and strengthening the Valor Bowl, Chester County's annual charity
high school all-star football game that is closely tied to Special Olympics.
