Not sure what to say?

Gregh and I work together at ECC it was a honor to know him and work with him. He was one of the good guys. Prayers for his family.

In loving memory of a wonderful friend, father and Papa. May God comfort those you left behind. Until we all meet again.
In Jesus name, Amen

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

God's blessings and our deepest condolences to Jeanne and family. Georgia & my MIL were good friends and Gregg always asked about Penny. Nice guy. May you rest easy Gregg and memory eternal. Fly high friend

Miss you already. You always knew how to make me laugh and I will miss you and your sense of humor forever. Deepest sympathy to your family and your friends. Rest well, Gregg, rest well.

Had the pleasure of working with Greg in coal City after that tornado devastated the town. It was a lot of work but we always had a great time and getting things done and people back in their houses as quickly as possible. Super guy to work with.

Always fun, always like a brother, lots of absolutely wonderful memories. You my friend and brother will be missed, love you old friend. Rest now, we will carry the load now for you.

I owe so much to Gregg for asking me to come work for the village. I could never thank him enough. Then, he became my neighbor for many years. All those years, he was my dear, dear friend. He will be missed!

I’m so sorry.
