It´s been 12 years since you´ve been gone. There´s rarely a day goes by I don´t think of where and what you´d be doing now. I still miss the lunches where we would trade ideas, ask for advice and most of all laugh. You are missed.

I was friends with Greg in junior high...I have wondered many times whatever happened to him...guess I just found my answer. He used to say some profound things... one was "in the future, everyone will walk around with their own theme music" (this was before cassette Walkmans even)- another was I remember him, ironically, going on about how he thought it was stupid to wonder "I wonder where they are now" about a past aquaintance that you've lost touch with. I'm suprised to see he planted roots in Niles-- always pictured him ending up in the southwest for some reason.

I still think of Greg often, and will always miss him. He was a special guy, in so many ways. We worked together, and played together, and got to know each other quite well. His passing is a tragedy that has left a void in many hearts. I have many fond memories of times we shared. My prayers for his family. He will not be forgotten.

Uncle Bob and Aunt Ethel, sorry to hear about Gregory passing, I know how rough that is, having lost My sister Marilyn July 24th of this year. Thought and prayers are with you.

Greg was a wonderful guy. We met him through owners choice and ever since then we have been customers. We are so sorry we did not know of his death. He was one of the nicest, kindest persons we have ever met, and was always willing to do what he could to help us. There is now one less terrific human being in this world. Our deepest sympathies to his family.

Greg lived in the house next to my father in Niles on Elmore, before moving to their new home. During Dad's many hospitalizations and during his time in the nursing home, before his death, I was always able to count on Greg and Amy's help. I just learned today of his passing. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

Greg and I grew up together. I have fond memories of the summers we spent together riding bicycles, going to the Niles pool, seeing movies and "sleep outs" in the playhouse with Susie, Greg and I. My brother Tom and I got together with Greg about four years ago and it was like time hadn't passed. My prayers go out to you. Greg, you will always be in my heart. JoAnn Vollmann (Henderson, NV

Athough this is a tragity for all involved Greg was one of the nicest, caring, thoughtful, generous to a fault and loving person one could want to know. He treated me as a brother would. Greg was a true friend and he will be sorely missed by all. His family and kids meant the world to him and he was very proud of each of them. May his memories bring comfort to his family.
