Not sure what to say?

Greg took me in when I first came to New York. I have never known a more generous or warm-hearted soul. So sorry to only learn now of his passing.

Thank you for being such a strong, beautiful presence. Everything you did for me created something powerful within me. Words can't express how much I will miss you, but I know that the spirit you provided will always remain.

Mr. Leevy was a great man. He touchedalot of people's hearts through every bit of work put in to the theatre. He was a great teacher, a great director, and as I have heard a great actor. I wil always love him and miss him dearly.

Heroes walk among us every day, but rarely in such a remarkable form as Greg Leevy. Knowing him was the gift of a lifetime. Although it's painful to me right now, I know that he had to leave us because he has so much else to do -- a Spirit like his goes on forever and only has a brief time here on earth.

Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers for Greg's family, and our extreme GRATITUDE for Greg's existence.

To The Leevy Family, Thomsena and Gloria:

I am saddened by the passing of Bougie (I always called him Greg). I was present when he was born and I remember the laughter when I called his grandfather to tell him that he had a grandson.
Thom, remember when you called me to say he would stay awake at night and I told you to talk to him, because as an infant his eyes would follow me in the nursery. This special bond between he and I continued and throughout the years, I was always his...

My deepest sympaathy to bot of you during this time

Our little corner of the universe was made such a better place because of Boogie. I can't imagine anyone who ever knew him not feeling a profound loss. Can't wait to get to heaven to see him again!!

A great human being, a wonderful and inspiring friend. Bougie will be sorely missed.

In the late 80's, I served with Greg on the Board of the Wofford Alumni Association. He contributed much to the Board, it and was a great pleasure to be with him.
