We were deeply saddened to learn of Greg's passing. While we missed out on getting to know Greg on a more personal level, our thoughts and prayers are with his family. It was through Greg's involvement in the Kingston community that we were privileged to witness his kind, caring and sincere approach toward helping others. We are grateful to his family for sharing him with so many others.
God Bless,

My thoughts and prayers are with Greg's family during this very difficult time. I had the pleasure of working with Greg for about a year and a half at FLY FM. He was a great boss!

Greg was a good friend of ours in the 80's. He was a very talented gymnast and an all round fun guy to hang around with. Years later, Greg told us that the only reason he was skinny was because he was poor! We also remember him driving the infamous Pacer which he lovingly called the Fish Bowl and never had any gas in it! Greg stood in our wedding in 1987 and stopped (my) Greg from passing out at the front of the church at Doug Osborne's wedding! He was a kind and thoughtful friend to both of us. It is very sad to think he is gone. Our condolences to his family and friends.
