Mollie, Doug and Dodson family, Harriet and I send our most heartfelt condolences for the passing of Gregg. As you know, Gregg and i shared an office suite at the Florida Highway Patrol headquarters and we shared many thoughts about family, friends and the highway patrol. I can tell you without hesitation or equivocation that Gregg was a "hoot" in a pleasant kind of way. He cared about "his troopers," as he called them! I will forever have a special place in my heart for the memory of Gregg, And hope to see him one day in the Great Beyond! May God bless and keep you in his loving care!

Dearest Mollie, Doug, and family....what a huge shock to hear of Gregg's passing. I am still in a state of disbelief because every time I saw him...he was the picture of health and always had a BIG smile and joke to tell that had you laughing right along with him! If God had to have him...I'm glad he went without pain and suffering. Alot of wonderful memories were made over the years to help you through these painful moments. Hold onto them and smile his BIG smile...until your together again!

I am so very sad to hear of Gregg's passing. I knew him from the car wash. He was such a friendly and caring man, who always had a smile on his face, knew everyone's name and genuinely loved getting to know people a little bit better each visit. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family. Much love to you all.

Greggs may your faith sustain you in your loss. Old Troopers never die they just fade away to continue patrolling the streets paved with Gold in the service of God

Dear Molly, Doug and family, to say we have lost a special person is hard to say because Greg was always special to everyone. Like so many Troopers across the State of Florida Gregg carried himself with pride and dignity, and most of all from just a road Trooper to his fellow staff members he was always respectful and treated everyone with kindness and above all a great listener. I have so many good things to say about Greg and Molly, and Doug and I hope you treasure all those special things you have shared in this life on earth, but now more love of his Father in Heaven. It was an honor to work and share life sharing things with him, and now I know Greg will share with my big brother all these wonderful times with their maker. GOD bless you all, and live in happy memories of your times with him, Steve and Jeanne Vincent

Gregg and Mollie have been very close friends of Sheila and I for nearly forty years. We had many good times together. Gregg was the kind of friend that one has very seldom in life, one that you could call a true friend. Even though Gregg knew many, many people, and over the years as he became very successful, he was still the old' Gregg to us and still a true friend. He will be truly missed .... and we will miss him very much.

Dearest Mollie and family, though we know heaven has welcomed a "very special person" our hearts still feel the sorrow and sadness.
He will always be remembered as you share the stories and the memories of how he lived his life and how very much he meant, may you find comfort. And, throughout this difficult time, may you also know the deep sympathy and concern that is felt for you and all your family. With each passing of a loved one, I still find comfort in the Linda Ellis poem, "The Dash". . . we all know the day of his birth and the day of his passing but, it's what is in the dash that holds the true meaning of his life.
To truly know Gregg and Mollie is to have a blessed friend for life.
We will lift you up in our prayers,
Ceci, John, and Ryan

I have lost a good friend and a great human being. A friend is a person who you know and a great friend is a person who you love. Gregg and Mollie are wonderful people that Barb and I have enjoyed having them as are friends. There are not enough great word that describes are friendship though the year. I have enjoyed every moment that I have talked and spent with them both. He has been my friend for almost 40 years when I first meet him at the Ranch House restaurant in Sarasota in Nov. 1976. I had just transferred from Miami to Bradenton and he came up to me and introduced himself. From that day forward I came to know him as a kind and caring person. I will truly miss his voice and laughter. I will always remember him for his friendship in my hard times. Both he and Mollie have always been a loving couple. Barb and I love them both. Gregg was a caring person to all and God will take care of him in haven. I will never forget you my friend. Rest in peace.

I would like to send my sincere condolences to Gregg's family for their loss. I worked with Gregg over the years while I was employed with the Manatee County Sheriff's Office. He was always a gentleman and concerned about the welfare of those around him. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
