Greg was possibly the most consistently committed person to social justice activism that i've known. He was the epitome of unwavering hope for a better world. So many marches, vigils and gatherings, despite pain in his joints and a huge struggle to move, he'd still show up, carrying signs and supplies. Unstoppable.

Hard to think of the task ahead without the determined fire in the belly of this kind, resilient, and persistent spirit. I worked with Greg on a couple of issues and always felt gently led - but led nonetheless. Great loss to us all.

I have known Greg since his paralegal days with Tim Norwood, and I recruited him into our fantasy football league several years ago. I will miss him very much, with his great sense of humor and love of our football league.

I know a lot of dedicated people, but I see Greg as the most dedicated of all, giving his energy and heart to what was important. Always on the go, always smiling, always with an inner drive to make things better. He left our world too early.
