Not sure what to say?

Greg Rest In Peace my friend. We some good times together back in the old days. Sorry to see that you have passed. May God hold in his hands. Fernando Pires

I've known Greg for sixty years. We grew up on the same street and went to the same schools. We used to always rag on each other but it was always in fun. He eventually became my cousin in law when he married my beautiful cousin Marianne. My heart goes out to the family. I know this pain and hate to see anyone else suffer this loss. All my love and prayers to the family. My deepest regrets for missing the service, but health issues prevent me from attending. All my love to Marianne and family.

I worked with Greg for 32 years we had a great group of employees at Stockdale station. Yes Greg loved to talk sports, participate when we had gatherings, joke around, and talk about his family. He was a lot of fun with that great smile. Keep those good memories until we all meet again on the other side. So sorry he was taken so young from his family.

My deepest and most sincere condolences going out to the Diaz family. My beautiful son-in-law James, my heart breaks for you. Big Greg brought the enthusiasm everywhere he went. His personality was loud and infectious. I will always remember his love for sports and competitive nature. Is going to be missed by all, especially his grandbabies. I know when our Lord returns, he will be received with open arms. May we all live the short life to the fullest and know our ultimate goal is to see...

I 1st met Greg, in July of 1988, when I was working at the post office. May he rest in peace .

So sorry for your loss. Greg was such a cool guy. I pray that God continue to keep his loving arms of comfort around you. Praying for you and family. I love you guys. I'm here if you need anything Lakisha Jones

Condolences to the Diaz Family. My husband Charles remembers Greg from high school football 1978. While they were rivals on opposing teams, Greg was always friendly with an infectious smile. It would be years later, through his son James, they would meet again...same smile, same love for sports, however what was very evident was his love for family. Greg will forever be watching over his family from the heavens. RIP

I was so shocked to hear of Greg's passing. I still am. The photo you chose for his obituary is perfect as that's how I remember him, always smiling and cracking a joke. I got to know Greg through Marianne working at Daniells Phillips Vaughan & Bock. I have wonderful memories of Greg that make me smile. God sure got a great postman!! He will be missed by all who knew him. Pat & Jim Turner

Our condolences & prayers go out to the family of Greg. We grew up with Greg & he was also our classmate. His beautiful smile & sweet spirit will definitely be missed. Love, James & Cheryl Nutt
