Not sure what to say?

Another year has passed and I still miss Gregg. I miss our conversations and how he always made me laugh and of course our love of squirrels is what made our friendship so special. I know he and Happy, his beloved squirrel, are having a blast!

I can't believe Gregg is gone now for so long. I miss him. Many of his squirrel loving friends miss him. Rest in peace dear Gregg till we meet again over the rainbow bridge.

It will be 14 years since we lost Gregg Bassett. I will never forget him and his wonderful sense of humor. I miss the way he made me laugh. I am still feeding and caring for my many backyard squirrels and think of him every time I see them. He is truly missed. I can only keep the hope that one day I will see him again on the other side of the rainbow bridge smiling and holding Happy and my Emily in his arms.

Gregg was one of a kind when it came to animals....especially squirrels...He was such and advocate for them....I still miss him to this very day. I know he is entertaining many squirrels up there over the rainbow bridge and I hope to see him again one day....I know he's taking care of my squirrel Emily too!

Kathy, we are so sad to hear of Gregg's passing. He was such a fine man. His love of squirrels and his club allowed the members to connect with other people to make this world a better place for one of God's creatures. He will live in all of our hearts forever. He brought joy into a lot of lives. That's a wonderful legacy.

Kathy, I was shocked to hear about Gregg. I still can't believe it. The squirrels of the world are in mourning. You are in our prayers.

Gregg has been a great friend and an encouragement to my enthusiasm for squirrels.

Kathy, I'm so sorry to learn of Gregg's passing. Oh, how the squirrels at the Bridge must be rejoicing to have him in their midst. And you know that's right where he is! Thank you, Gregg, champion of our precious squirrels.

I am going to miss Gregg so much. He was a comfort to me when I lost my pet squirrel Emily, and I joined his club. I had the privelege of meeting Gregg this past May at the White Squirrel Festival. He has inspired me to write three squirrel songs, which were to be placed in his catalog of squirrely products one day. We shared alot of laughs and squirrel stories. The world has truely lost a wonderful, caring man and I know as sure as I breath that he will be watching over all the squirrels...
