I cannot tell you how shocked and saddened I am to learn of Gregg's passing. While we did not need to touch base regularly we always knew that we would be there for one another. He was my friend, my partner and a great lawyer. We crossed things off our bucket lists together. So sorry we didn't do more. Rest in peace my friend.

I am so horrified by this news...I'm so sorry for your loss. I had no idea. I just kept trying to call him for his birthday this week and that is how I found out. Please accept my deepest condolences; you know how much I loved him. God be with you for peace.

Gregg will be profoundly missed at our little church, Chapel of the Venerable Bede on the campus of the University of Miami. He was always so pleasant, and it was a joy to see him every Sunday, often in the company of his parents. We will be keeping all of the family in our prayers. Marcia Proctor
