I was so upset when I heard of Greg's passing. He was a kind soul and always friendly with everyone he met. My husband, son and I are disabled and in the kindness of his heart he came to our home and helped me with work I couldn't possibly do myself. I was so grateful for his help. We had plans on finishing the garden my dad and I started before my dads passing. I will miss seeing you Greg at my house and at Jess and Billy's house. You were always upbeat and friendly to all. I pray God sees the kind soul you have been and takes you to His kingdom and you will find peace and happiness in heaven. I will forever miss you. Anne Martin
