To the Park family. I am very sorry for your loss. I attended high school with Greg. I look at his photo and it shows the same bright spirit in his eyes that I remember from all those years ago. May God comfort you.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I've known Greg since I was very young. His sister used to babysit me many moons ago at the house on Cooper Foster.

Carol, my thoughts and prayers are with you and Zephrym. I had the opportunity to talk with Greg just a few times, but it was clear by those conversations that he was a remarkable person with an incredible sense of humor. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I didn’t know you, but if you were anything like your brother Jim (and I’m sure you were), the world is worse off today than before your passing. My condolences to your family. Go with God.

The loss of Greg brings on a great sadness to us all. He was a very sweet man and he will be missed. My fondest memory of him was when we were out at the lake and he told me with great detail about his toe. The humor and light heartedness he used made an "icky" story memorable if not endearing. This was one of his signature personality traits. (a great one I must say) When we saw him at the coast in Aug he told a similar story to my daughter. Anything to impress the girls. He will be missed and without a doubt he was loved. My heart goes out to Carole and Zeph.

God may have given me Greg as a cousin but I chose him as a friend. When I had a glass of wine, it always tasted alot nicer when I was around Greg. I will miss him.
