To all of you among Greg's family and friends:
I have known Greg for all of his 61 years (well, all of the earlier years), when we were constant playmates. Not many can say they knew Greg "way back when." I have those early memories because I am Greg's cousin, two years older than he, and we grew up in Philadelphia together. Greg's mother and my mother were very devoted sisters.
I have many fond memories from the "good ol' days" involving Greg and me. And I know you all may have many fond memories from the "good newer days." Gosh, all kinds of memories from the 1950s and 60s, lots of crazy stuff, too. Greg and I really did grow up together, in many ways.
Love to you all,

While viewing the hometown newspaper I read of your loss.
I never met Greg but if he was half the person you are he was a good person.
I am sorry to hear of your loss and after losing my sister and dad know what you are feeling.
Whenever you feel lonely and blue take a walk down Memory Lane it helps.

I am very sad to hear of the passing of a man I knew as a good husband, great father, and wonderful man. He was a workaholic, but always made time for a chat with a friend, or family member. He truly was one of a kind, and my heart goes out to Barb, the kids, and the grandkids.

I love you Aunt Barbara. I can't be there physically, but I will be there in my prayers. Try to have some fun celebrating your love for Greg and with the family and friends who will be able to be there with you. I only met Greg the one time at Mom and Dad's anniversary and he was very nice. I am happy that you had him in your life.
Love Nona, Keith and Mauri Letham

Barbara,
I met Greg 35 years ago, worked closely with him for most of those years, and have always considered him a good friend. He will be sadly missed.
Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
