Not sure what to say?

I still think of Greg often. I spent a lot of time with him shooting pool at his mom´s house, at his house with Devil sitting up on the dog house, and listening to music. He always treated me so well and made me feel like a part of his family. I certainly feel like he was a part of mine. I moved away 31 years ago this year and lost track of him. I was able to see him a couple of times in the late 90s I believe and wish it were more. David Martin (Tater´s boy)

Greg and I were like Mutt and Jeff in high school. Only I think we probably got into more trouble. He was my closest friend when I left to join the service. The last time I saw him was back in the 80's when I came down from NJ to visit him. I've moved back to VA now and am really saddened to find he's passed before I could look him up again. With him goes a lot of very fond memories. May he find peace and happiness with God.

We were so saddened by Gregs passing. He was a dear friend back in the 80's. We had so much fun partying with he an Kathleen. He was a real hoot. We hadn't seen him in a very long time, but we never forgot about him. God Speed my friend.

Greg will be loved and missed.

Greg & I were cousins on my Dad's side of the family & I can remember as a kid his Mom & Dad would bring him to visit us in Fincastle. I'm sorry to read about him here. My prayers go out to his close friends & family members. I would have liked to come to his service, but I'm at work. He will be missed although I haven't got to see him in a long time. He knew me by my nick name "Bobbie" & he was always nice to me.

Remembering the happy times spent with Greg and his family. I know they're all rejoicing up in Heaven.

Greg will be missed He always had a smile and a hug for everyone

I went to Mount Pleasant with Greg & later he worked with my mom at Roanoke Garment. He used to sit on the front seat of the school bus. Some of the "kids" would pick on him & throw paper at him. I always liked him & would sit with him some & talk. He was a really nice guy. I remember him with dark curly hair & glasses. I also remember when he came to work with my mom. I couldn't believe it & used to tell her to tell Greg hello. I lost touch with him years ago & always wanted to stop & see...

you will be truly missed we love you and miss you
