- Sadly, my good friend, Greg Furr, passed away last month. I made this little video of him! We've been friends for 45 years. Every time I would visit friends in Taft, CA, I would stay at his house. He's going to be missed! Thanks Greg for all the Laughter! This footage is from earlier years when we were young!
Absolute awesome guy, was blessed to have known him.
Absolutely! He is missed! Thanks for comment! He'd be glad he is remembered and probably say something like "Pure Good" or "Thank You God" !
I was just looking Greg up to keep him updated on stuff; what a sad surprise. Last time I spoke to him must have been right before he passed. We worked together at Eagle Mountain and took the PC832 Arrest and Firearms Course together. I miss his laugh and odd sense of humor. When I left for corrections in Ohio and he went to Taft FCI we kept in contact sporadically from 2000-2015. Sadly, it was mostly him initiating contact. I will miss his dry sense of humor and spider hunting with him. He was pure good!
Yes! Greg was a good friend. I live in Northern California but would always stay at his house when I'd visit. he told me a lot about Eagle Mountain. Did he drive a white pinto? LOL! I gave him that car. Thanks for comment. sorry for you to learn the sad news. He is missed. i think of him a lot!
Last I talked to Greg...I was planning on coming down. He told me not to come down as he was sick. His last words were "Wait until i get better"! Sad!
"Pure Good"...Greg used that phrase a lot!
Born : December 21,1953. Died : April 15, 2015.
Greg was born to Ray and Bette Furr and was proud to say he was raised in Taft, CA. He graduated from Taft Union High School and Taft College. Greg was full of life and lived each day like it was his last. He was a “motorcyclist extraordinaire.” His motorcycle was his primary mode of transportation for most of his life. He inherited money in his early thirties and traveled in Europe for several months spending the majority in Malta. He often joked about it and referred to those years as his "early retirement" years. When the retirement funds ran out, he returned to Taft and worked again in the oil fields. His first job in corrections was with MTC at the Eagle Mountain CCF. He eventually returned to Taft and went to work at the Taft Federal Correctional Institution where he was employed for 15 years. He enjoyed photography and was the host of countless poker parties. He was a gun and shooting enthusiast and a life member of the NRA. He completed a firearms training course so he could be more proficient when assisting his fellow officers pass the annual firearms re-qualification at TCI. He had many friends, some dating back to his grammar school days. Greg is preceded in death by his sister, Connie. On February 18, 2006 he married Anacoreta Bregana and she became “The Lovely Mrs. Furr.” Together, they traveled and visited friends and family. They were always very gracious to guests of their home. They adopted their “four-legged son”, Bandit, in 2008 and he went everywhere with them.The name came from Bandit from the Johnny Quest cartoons in the 60's. When you asked Greg how he was doing, the usual answer was either “pure good” or “extremely blessed.” His laugh will not soon be forgotten by anyone who has ever been within a quarter mile when he let loose. He was a true friend to many and will be missed deeply. Surviving Greg is his wife of nine wonderful years, Anacoreta, and his three nieces, Shannon, Kendra and Andrea. He is also so loved by his extended family from the Philippines. Memorial Services were held on Thursday, April 30, 2015, at 3:00 p.m. at New Hope Temple, 308 Harrison St., Taft, with the reception immediately following it in the fellowship hall.
