Greg has loads of Packers merchandise in his basement from old school to new, from signed helmets to jerseys. If you are a Packer fan, Greg Otto would be a fairly interesting person for you to meet. From childhood to his early 50’s, Greg Otto has worked hard and has obviously lived his life to the fullest.
