Greg

It has been three weeks since you passed and there isn't a minute that goes by that I do not think of you. My mind is a blur thinking of all the good times we shared as brothers. I have so many good memories when we were kids in Lakeville, Dartmouth and Arlington that I will always treasure. Those were the good old days. I also want to thank you for always being there when I needed you most. Your were not only my brother Greg, but also my best friend.

Rest in Peace Greg

I love you

Your Brother

keep your thoughts today and everyday on how much he loved you and remember the wonderful memories that will remain with you forever. Each of you are a tribute to what Wonderful Men he wanted each of you to become and he added the Handsome part in as a bonus too! He was so proud to be called Your DAD. Please take care of your Mother and of course she will always take care of you guys. You need each other now more than ever and your family and friends are here for each of you to help in anyway, with anything you need. We love you and share with you great memories of a guy who had many great qualities, but he would always know how to make you laugh and he was always so much fun to be around. We will ALL miss him so much and we know just how lucky we were to have such a wonderful Brother in Law, Uncle and such a great Friend.
All our Love
