Not sure what to say?

Greg was just simply a bubbling up of life. His joy was infectious. His humor through anguish relatable.
I worked with him through the growth spurts of a company knowing it had perhaps left the LGBT population out of its plan, with first starting a affinity group to start the conversation. Greg just embraced our coming out story here as a community filled with fear over what being out at work could entail. Instead of walking weakly into our foray to OUT ourselves. We decided we would...

I met Greg my first week at DFCI in 2002 and we kept in touch and saw each including a weekend on the Cape until I left New England 2005. I was thinking of Greg today and stumbled upon this obituary. We had many a great laugh in Boston and I will sincerely miss him. My sincere condolences to his husband and family.

I only recently learned of Greg's passing. The hole in my heart is enormous and cannot be filled. I am proud to have known him, to have fought for him, and to have called him my friend. Thoughts and prayers to Nathan and his family.

On behalf of Greg and his family, we appreciate the memories and kind words you have shared regarding Greg. He will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.

I hired Greg when he worked at Guardian and I had the distinct pleasure of working with this smart, funny, spirited and kind man. My heart is sad today - my condolences to all of Greg's family and friends.

I too was a co-worker at Dana-Farber (in Human Resources where Greg worked). He was wonderful. Such a happy soul. Thoughts and prayers to his husband and family.

My heart goes out to all of you who had the chance to share more time with Greg. I feel fortunate that our paths crossed at Guardian. May he rest in peace and may all family and friends find comfort having been touched by his amazing spirit. He will always be a ray of light.

To Nathan and all Greg's family, we share in your pain at this sad loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Greg was one of the most beautiful and bravest souls I am blessed to have had my life honored with. Though I am heartbroken he is gone, I know he is in a better place now and is suffering no more. Greg, we know you watch over us all as we sleep........know in return that you will remain in our hearts forever. Allie

Greg for me was a change maker. I worked with him at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. With his leadership and passion he brought DFCI to recognize its need for an LGBT affinity group and lead us on a journey and path that we are still on today. We marched and twirled and danced and laughed. The PRIDE parades were a happy time and when I think of them I will think of Greg. I'm so sad this morning thinking about this loss. I am sad for you all knowing how much I enjoyed being around...
