Still remembering my friend Greg.

I was deeply saddened when I heard of Greg's passing. I worked with him at Sun Microsystems. He would always talk about his family - how well his daughter was doing in school, how he and his son fixed up the garage and worked on cars and helping his Mom with the house. He had a big, beautiful heart and I will always remember him.

I met Greg while working at PTC. He was someone I always thought highly of, both as a co-worker and friend. I remember him always talking about his family, how he was helping one sister with renovations, or his kids with something. His loyalty and dedication to those he loved was quite obvious. I was very saddened to hear of his passing.

My prayers and best wishes go out to his family.

I just heard that Greg passed away. Greg and I were friends in high school. I would see him when I came back to Milton. I have not been back in a long time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

To my dear friend: I met Greg in 2000 at work. We had an early bond since we both enjoyed cars and cooking. Greg is always willing to help out and taught me many things. I will miss him. My sincerest condolences to the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Greg's family. I worked with Greg for several years while he was working for Sun in Boston. He was a great person to work with and to be around. He often spoke about his children. It was very clear that he loved them dearly and that they brought him a lot of joy. We have been holding out hope that he would be coming back to work with us. He will be missed.

Kathy, Kerie and June,

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Family of Greg.
Greg was one of my first friends I made when I moved to Milton in 1968, and because our Birthdays were both May 1, 1960, we became very close.
I was deeply saddened by the passing of not only a dear friend, but a great, kind person.
You will always be in my prayers,
Your friend for Life and beyond,
Jim Stallions
Milton, Ma.

I met Greg when he befriended my brothers, Bob and Dan, back in 1980. I will always remember Greg as a thoughtful and great individual who would help one with anything. I remember Greg working patiently for hours in my mother's garage assisting my brothers with their cars, car engines, etc,..he was so knowledgeable in many areas; and he always had fun doing it. You never knew what kind of funny thing he would say that would leave you howling with laughter. I last saw Greg this past Summer at my brother's house and it was like it was always in the past; it didn't matter if a few years went by, he was always the same good, witty person. Greg will be sorely missed. May he be happy and may he rest in peace.

Dear Erin and Bud, June, Kerie, and Kathy, and Patti, I am so very sorry! Greg was a great man and was never anything but nice to me, no matter what was going on. From seeing him at me Mom's wake and from everything I have heard about how he faced his cancer, you can all be extremely proud of him. He kept a great attitude during all of it, which is probably why he was able to fight it for so long. He was a great Dad, Son and Brother, as well as a great Friend. He will be missed deeply! Erin and Bud, Hold onto all the good memories, I promise you this will help you through this! June, continue be the strong woman that I know you are, I know your daughters and vast, loving family will be by your side every step of the way! Kerie, Even though we don't see each other very often, when we do it's like we just spoke yesterday! If there is ever anything I can do Please let me know. Know that Greg is no longer in pain and is at peace, and will be looking down on all of you, and watching over you. He is with God now! When I told my daughter Samantha about her Nana going to Heaven, she asked me if "Heaven was a big Disco Party with a Disco Ball?" and I told her for her Nana it was, since my Mom loved to dance. So I would imagine that Greg is up there right now fixing up some vintage car and couldn't be happier! Be strong and you are all in my prayers. Love Always, Laurie
