One of my best buds when I was growing up and someone who I still have very fond memories of. Greg will not be forgotten.

A trip down memories lane. The sixties - a time of reflection - with its bitter/sweet memories. Greg made me laugh. He made me giggle! He alway had something nice to say! I was married to one of his close "old" friends. May God's abiding presence be with his family and friends in this most difficult time. Sharing in your grief and in your sorrows. My deepest sympathies.
