We were very sorry to learn of the passing of Gregory. He is always in our thoughts because of where we grew up (Upland Street) but more importantly because he is a member of the Gibson Family. Our Families had very close ties. Our love and prayers are with you.

I am truly saddened to hear of Greg's passing. I was just talking about trying to reach him to visit with him after the holidays with my other friend. We last went to lunch 2 summers ago ,and we all caught up on old times & the fun we all had working at Acme 3rd & Oregon Avenue. Greg was a fun person to be around , and he was constantly being funny / sarcastic , that was his way , and the way I'll always remember him. I'm gonna miss him . I will treasure our memories & fun times always. I gave him a plant ( he said was " ugly" after his last health battle , he says he was throwing it out when he got home ) . I told him it was bad luck and hopefully he kept it , if not who knows. He was appreciative just for us acknowledging that he was going through a rough time with his health. I only know of his family through him talking about them. I wish you all peace and heartfelt condolences through this Holiday Season and Prayers for Gregory. May he now rest in peace. God Bless You , My Friend you'll always be remembered as the #1 Acme Head Cashier...never to be replaced. Love You Always. Greg. Cathy Lee Bormann~Fitzpatrick
