Gregg Allen Houtz

Dear Jackie and Family,

You don't know me but I went to YC, lived in Look Hall and played basketball with Gregg. Over the years I would think about him from time to time and wonder what he was up to. I unexpectedly ran into him a couple of times in DC and he was just as kind a gentleman as I remembered him in college. I have some pictures of him in Look Hall with his "afro" clowning around with Steve Johnson. I am so sad he is no longer with us.

With kind regards,

Dear Jackie and Family, I just learned about your loss. I was shocked and very sad. Gregg was one of the few reasons first year law school could be fun. He was always interested in others, kind, and very funny. Just as we were approaching finals in April of our first year, Gregg very kindly offered to bartend at my parents' 25th wedding anniversary party, which was being held about 90 minutes north of Washington, DC. Not only was he a great bartender, he was the life of the party! People...

Jackie and Family -

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Gregg's passing. I cannot imagine Gregg being anything but vibrant, funny and full of life. I am shocked. Gregg and I met when we were in the same section our first year of Law school. He was part of the very close crowd that clung together that first year and he was always up, always happy. He never let law school get him down. He was a wonderful friend. I am so sorry for your loss.

I just learned of Gregg's passing when I returned from out of state. I am so sorry for your loss. I met Gregg through our work for the State Bar. He was an easy going guy with a sharp intellect and a delightful sense of humor. He was also a good public servant. I admired him a great deal. I'm dismayed to hear of his passing.

My condolences to you and your children. May God bless and comfort you.

Sorry to hear of Gregg's passing. He was a dear family friend since childhood. I remember him coming down from Yankton College to Lincoln, and crashing at the ATO house with me for the Model United Nations at UNL. Great memories.

Dear Jackie, Kristin, Erin & Eric,
It is with great sadness that we learned of Gregg's passing. He was such an intelligent, charming and caring person. We remember fondly our visit with you and Gregg in 2006 when we were in Arizona. It was such a treat to meet you! We reminisced about the "good ole' days" at Yankton College with Gregg and enjoyed sharing stories that you had not previously heard. : ) He always added so much to any gathering! You are all in our prayers and we look...

Dear Jackie & Family,

I was shocked and saddened to learn that Gregg passed on. In the Fall of 1974, we met as freshmen at Yankton College, a small college with an enrollment of about 300 students in southeastern South Dakota. We were both pre-law students and took many of the same courses. He set the bar high for our department by working hard and achieving a lot in his time at YC but he also managed to find time to have fun. Although he ended up going to law school at...

My thoughts and prayers are with Gregg's Family and friends at this difficult time. I hope the support of those near you and fond memories of Gregg provide you strength for tomorrow. Sincerely,

Gregg soars with the angels,brightening the heavens with his light.We will buy memorial wine glasses in his honor and toast to fond memories and joyous reunions.
