Team Horner Pays Tribute to Glen ‘Skip’ Greggs

Remembering Glen “Skip” Greggs

March 1942 – February 2024

The swimming pool industry mourns the passing of a distinguished figure, Glen “Skip” Greggs. 

Skip’s professional journey began with a dedicated four-year service in the U.S. Air Force after completing high school. However, it was in 1970, upon relocating to Margate, Florida, that he embarked on a career in the pool industry. The establishment of his pool service and retail establishment, Poogie Pools, marked the beginning of a dedicated 50-year odyssey.

A tireless advocate for the pool industry, Skip’s expertise flourished during his three-decade tenure at Team Horner, complemented by significant contributions to Sheer Descent Waterfalls and Jandy Teledyne Laars. Renowned as an expert speaker and trainer, Skip’s passion for educating and sharing knowledge on heat pumps and salt chlorine generators reached global audiences and left an enduring mark on swimming pool professionals.

For Skip, Team Horner was more than a workplace; it was a second family. His influence on Team Horner, acknowledged through accolades like the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014 and Hall of Fame induction in 2021, solidified his status as a trailblazer.

During his career, Skip held his immediate family as the focal point of his life. Celebrating 58 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Sherry, and raising two children, Skip’s dedication to family surpassed all else. Their son, Phil and his wife, Nicole, have three children (Hunter, Charlotte and Sam) who all lovingly refer to Grandpa as Pop-pop. Their daughter, Heather, and husband, Anthony, have a son, Kayden, and another baby on the way.
