Gregg John Balton

Dear Mrs. Balton and family: Well, Gregg must be in Heaven, thinking about our friendship--because just two days ago, I was recommending Saratoga hotels to a friend, and I told her that the Gideon Putnam was magnificent--but that it's not the same since Gregg Balton was at the helm. Gregg brought so many wonderful, historically-correct changes to the hotel. He brought joy and kindness through that front door every day that he entered the building. And those of us who knew him as a friend...

May the Peace of the Lord be always with you, dear Sarah, Jack and Olivia. Gregg is a beloved friend, and he lives in Heaven with the Lord. We must not refer to him in the past-tense, because, while his body gave out--Gregg is alive. That spirit that made us laugh and cry; that intelligence that forced us to truly think--he is eternal, with the Lord. Please find comfort in that Truth, Sarah. God bless you, today and always.
Love,
The Diva

Dear Sarah,
Surround yourself in the joy of your family and friends, celebrate the life of Gregg, and be comforted knowing that his legacy will live on through you and your children. Your strength and courage will carry you though this journey, until you are reunited in peace.

I have many fond memories of Gregg from the Sagamore and after...he had a giving spirit and amazing perspective. He will be terribly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.....

My thoughts are with you and your family. Remember the balloons.

Gregg's spirit will live on and on and on and his laughter will always fill our hearts. He remains with us today and all of our tomorrows. As he would say, Peace Out~ "Daleo"

Sarah, Olivia & Jack, Gregg was a very special friend and someone that will never be forgotten, our hearts go out to you. May you find comfort that he touched so many lives in such a short period of time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Gregg at the Sagamore and thought very highly of him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Sarah, Olivia, and Jack,
