Patty and kids, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Not only were we neighbors very early on, but I was fortunate enough to work with Greg at UTMC on occasional research projects. I am a Perfusionist and He was such a huge help to me in figuring dosages of medications to mix into my heart lung machine. I learned of his illness late spring when I bopped into his office on my way to the Mulford Library at UTMC. I was crushed. He retired shortly thereafter and I definitely feel a real sense of loss . I will miss him. We caught up talking about our children and spouses , (especially Matt, who was my daughter Caroline's favorite teacher at PHS)and Patty as well. He will be greatly missed and I hope you understand that I feel I've lost a friend .

Patti, Matt, Jeff, and Liz,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of your dad from the countless hours we spent at your house. I can still even hear his laugh. He was like a second father to me and Murphey. My heart breaks for you and your loss. Miss you all.

You are in my prayers. Hugs, Mary Fred

Jan and I would like to express our deepest sympathy to Greg's family. I worked with Greg, as a Pharmacy Buyer at UT, and he was an excellent Pharmacist and friend, but just an average Texas Hold'em and golf player (HaHa). We will never forget him and I can't wait to be with him again in Heaven. Respectfully, Tim and Jan Woo-Lun

Laura and I want to convey our heartfelt condolences to Greg's family. I've known Greg for his entire professional life, and even before that since I was one of his professors in the College of Pharmacy. I knew him both as a student and also as a colleague, since we served on several committees together. I empathized with him as he tried to increase the level of clinical research, too, at the university. Greg was always kind, courteous, and very thoughtful. It was such a great pleasure knowing him and working with him. I am saddened that I will no longer have the opportunity to cross paths with him again. I do indeed feel a sense of loss.

Words do not seem like enough but wanted to offer my sympathy to Greg's family on the loss of someone so special. Greg was truly a pleasure to work with. He was smart and professional but most of all he was funny and kind. We may have lost a great man here on Earth but Heaven has truly gained an angel. Rest in heaven, my friend...you certainly have earned your wings.

My deepest condolences go out to Greg's family and friends. Greg was always a pleasure to work with on the University Biomedical Institutional Review Board and he will be missed. Greg could always be counted on for valuable contributions and volunteering extra time for the board. I can recall several times over the years when I asked Greg how he was doing, he often mentioned his family and how much he enjoyed spending time with them. I am very sorry for your loss.
