It'd been over 30 years since I last saw Greg but I'd always considered him one of my very, very good friends. He helped me become the man I am today. My sincere condolences.

Anyone who knew him would say "what a great guy". I feel very fortunate to be included in his musical journey... his encouragement and participation with the BEAT niche magazine, and all the brainstorms we all would come up with, was inspirational to say the least. The eagle was an important symbol to him.. truly fitting. He helped me find my wings...
