I worked under Greg's leadership in the renewables industry, and was inspired by his calm, controlled way of leading others, with respect and laughter. My deepest condolences to the family.

I am so sad to hear of Greg’s passing. I knew him through his brother Steve and he was 2 years ahead of me in school. I looked up to him in junior high, high school and college. He worked hard and achieved so many great things in those days, and didn’t stop as he became an adult and family man and a professional. He was a person we all could admire for all that he accomplished and for all the people whose lives he touched. I will miss him. My heart goes out to all who are mourning this loss.

I'm stunned by the sudden passing of Greg. We worked together at Duke Energy, where he led the building of one of the nation's leading renewable energy portfolios and stood out as one of the most talented, commercially-oriented, and effective executives. I'll remember him for his understated professionalism, open door for good advice, and good nature. I'll also remember the extraordinary eulogy by his sons, who emphasized how he coached them integrity and strong character on and off the field. Rest in peace, Greg. You made a great impact that clearly your family will carry on, and others you mentored and befriended will as well. We miss you. Rye Barcott

What a beautiful church service, Joe and Kevin did not disappoint with their eulogy. Greg departed way too soon and I regret I did not get to spend more time knowing him; I never dreamed that opportunity would be cut short. Annie is grateful she was able to spend a lot of time really getting to know Greg. My condolences to the entire Wolf family...

Christie and Family,

Our family was so saddened to hear about Greg's passing. Greg was such a fine person who always impressed me with his gravitas and kindness. He will be missed by us, his HBS classmates, and surely everyone he has touched. May fond memories of his life comfort you in this difficult time. With warm wishes and condolences,

John Corso and family.

I want to express my sincere condolences to the entire Wolf family. Greg was the best of the best. Greg and I were Sigma Chis together at UC. He was a shining light for all of us to look up to. We always felt like he was the only adult in the room! I never heard anyone say a negative thing about Greg. Ever. Christie, my heart breaks for you. I lost my father unexpectedly when I was young. I’m one of the few people out there that can relate to what you and your boys are going through. If any of you need to talk, please don’t hesitate to contact me when you are ready. Andy and Steve, the offer is there for you as well. Strong arms are around you all always.

My sincere condolences to the Wolf Family. My friendship with them is precious. My heart is broken for their loss. Greg was a kind and friendly man who cared deeply about others. He will be missed by many. Cheering for our sons playing for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will always be some of my happiest memories. My prayers are with Greg’s beautiful family.
