Kathy, So sorry for your sudden loss of Greg. It was a joy knowing him and sharing his love for you and his family. He was a very kind and appreciative man. He always shared stories of his daughters and his son. Often spoke of how proud he was of his hard working grandson. I know you will miss him greatly. Hold your memories close to your heart.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Holbrook family.
I knew Greg since he was a young man working with my Dad, Larry, at Martin Heating. They seemed to really like and respect each other. Since then, I always knew I and my family could rely on Greg.
We are all so sorry for your loss.
