Life goes on but memories never fade. Losing someone that is near and dear to your heart takes a toll on any and everything that you do. I had the pleasure of assisting Greg on several occassions as well as working with his father and it is truly hard and sad for me because he was a great person to be around. Take this time to express your love and realize he has a purpose for all of us.

I've known greg for a couple of years now.He always was nice to be around and he was a nice young man.He always spoke to me and often spoke on how he felt that day.I can remember him sitting in the back seat of my car telling my baby "I'm your uncle so you better remember my face."he was the brother to her father. i still cant find the words to describe this tragedy my heart thoughts and prayers are with his children and his family. God will never put more on you than you can bear keep praying and everything will be alright. cherish the ones you love cause you never now when they'll be gone. Greg is in a better place than all of us. he'll truly be missed. truly by the 48th street gang. my deepest sympathy

I've known Greg for about 10 years, and when his brother called me, I felt such sorrow for his family. He was a great man to be around. To the family, I am deeply sorry for your loss and you will be in my prayers.

I was shocked when I recieved a call at work from my sister,(the mother of his children)that Greg had past away.I didnt know what to say because I hadn't never been through something like that before. All I can say is I was sorry to hear it and the family explained to her to try to be strong for the kids.He was like a brother to me and he will be sadly missed.
