Not sure what to say?

I recently read of Greg's passing in the Plymouth State Alumni magazine. I am so sorry for his loss. I met Greg while he and I were completing our Masters of Ed degrees at Plymouth in the summers of '80/81. Enjoyed so much his great personality and he was a speaker at our wedding in '83. While I had not seen Greg in many years, I thought of him and our time in NH together often. My most heartfelt condolences to his friends and family...

My sympathies to all of Greg’s family. I met the Camelo’s many many years ago through my late husband, Keith and his parents. Over the years the Stays and Camelo’s became more like family in many ways. Grief is painful but it helps to hold those wonderful memories close to your heart! AND picture this Greg and Keith chatting up a storm over a drink with our parents happily in attendance: Somewhere in the place called heaven.

Remember Greg from summers spent with my grandparents in Keeseville. My condolences to his family and friends, I know he is missed. Greg was a great guy and even better friend, and so glad I got to see him a few years back on trip up north. Always had a smile and a laugh on his face, enjoyed chatting with him on computer, seeing him having fun with his family in so many pictures, going to miss that a lot. Rest in Peace my friend.

Our love to Maureen, Kathy, and to Maria and her children and husband! We loved Greg and thought he was an incredible guy! He was sweet and kind! He worked with me at Holy Ghost Academy in Tupper Lake! He as wonderful with the children there and cared so much for all of us! Greg cared about people and he as a great educator! I loved how he got along with the Nuns there, Both his respect and sense of humor! He was a joy to know! The students were richly blessed by his presence there. He...

I am sadden to hear of Greg's passing. I send my heart filled condolences to his family and life partner, Christopher. God bless you all. Rest in peace my friend.
Respectfully, Cindy Conley

My sympathies to your husband and family. You were my 4th grade teacher at HGA and we stayed in touch ever sense. Rest In Peace and fly high looking over all of us.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Sending prayers to your family. Greg was a great guy, and he going to be missed. Keep remembering the wonderful memories that were shared with him .

I met Greg in 1973 when we worked as lifeguards at the Port Douglas beach on Lake Champlain. He was a great guy. Friendly, sincere, always ready with a joke, but serious about the job. We worked there again as lifeguards in the summer of 1974. I didn’t see Greg again for at least 20 years, but then saw him several times in the Saranac Lake area, where I had moved to. He always had a big smile, and as we shook hands he’d say, “We worked as lifeguards!” His picture, his smile, tell his...

I wish I knew Greg better - we’d have been kindred spirits with our passion for reading! But what I do know is that he was a kind, unforgettable individual. I had the pleasure of joining Greg and other family members for Thanksgiving a few years back, and remember how positively tickled we both were that I was old enough (25, at the time) to be doing shots of Fireball Whiskey with him. I have recalled that memory often; generally anytime I come across Fireball. It is truly one of the warmest...
