SUPER NICE GUY

Ron and I will always cherish the great times that we had together. Our deepest love always to Elizabeth and Lili.

Greg passed through my life briefly. Those moments resonate and I hold them dear. My heartfelt wishes to Elizabeth and Lili.

I was only at KPF a short time, but Greg quickly became a friend and offered me great personal support in my architectural education and interests.

I will always remember my former boss Greg as an elegant and dapper, highly creative, very happy, always on the go, upbeat and positive, calm, smiling guy who was a great pleasure to work for. It is so sad to see his empty office behind me but his lively dynamic spirit lives on.

His involvement in Songdo project was a tremendous contribution and I have been amazed how thoroughly organized and prepared he was, down to the details for various projects that were expanding simultaneously.

It was only a couple of days prior to hearing that he has passed away when Jisop Han was telling us how fortunate he and other KPF members feel to have such a...
