Dear Natasha and Kathleen,
I'm so sorry to hear about Gregory...I really enjoyed his company for the few years he was staying in Cincinnati. He felt like family to me.
He was super bright, funny, and thoughtful to everyone. He was a brilliant artist who worked for himself...never bending from his own opinion and taste. Gregory was an inspiration to me and I'm sure to most of the people he met on the way...
