Gregory R. Hardy

Some people are born good and go on to do great things. Others are born great and go on to do remarkable things. I think of Greg as the later. I only knew him for 3 months but highly admired his humbleness, kindness, intelligence, warm smile and loving eyes for everyone. His love for PAAC will always be in my heart.

I worked with Greg at East Cleveland AAC. Greg was one of the kindess, most caring persons I have ever met. He was a gentle mentor to his staff, and truly cared about the best interest of everyone he worked with. It is rare to met such people. I will remember him most for his calm demeanor and smile. He will truly be missed. My condolences to his family and friends.

In my experience of knowing Greg, I found him to be a great teacher. Through the example of his life, he taught compassion, support, patience, honesty, sincerity and showed what integrity is. The teacher may have moved on, but his lessons and inspiration live on in the memory of his life. Until we meet again, Greg.

I first met greg 24 years ago we both were starting out at rocky river workshop. I have seen him grow so much over the years professionally and I was happy and proud to learn he was still the kind and thoughtful person I had known back then. My heart goes out to his family, friends and coworkers who loved him so much.

Greg had a kind gentle soul who found the good in everyone. His spirit of giving and finding the positives in every situation will be sorely missed. I hope that he will be remembered in a way that moves all of us to be more patient, understanding and forgiving. My prayers and thougths are with him, his family and his extended CCBMRDD family

Greg started at CCBMR/DD about the same time as I, he was and will always be one of my favorite people in this world, and now into the next world. I will miss him.

WHAT CAN I SAY MY FRIEND HAS GONE AWAY , HE HAD NO TIME TO SAY GOOD-BY, BUT LEFT ME HERE WONDERING WHY. I KNOW A QUESTION LIKE THAT HAS NO ANSWER FOR ME , WE DON'T MAKE THOSE DECISION YOU SEE. I WILL MISS HIM EVERYDAY AND I REALIZE IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY. SO IF I FEEL A FLUTTER ONE DAY I'LL KNOW YOU ARE NEAR. THERE FOR ME YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT THE HOSPITAL WHEN I AWOKE, WITH WILTED FLOWER IN YOUR HAND YOU LOOKED AT ME AND SAID HERE I'AM. I HAD TO SMILE TO EASE YOUR CONCERN. SO NOW I HAVE TO...

Words cannot express the sense of loss that I feel We have not only lost an inspirational leader but a friend as well. Greg had the unique ability to make you feel comfortable to discuss work or personal feelings, showing care and compassion so sorely needed in our world today. I will always carry a part of him with me and try to excell to be my very best and to continue to make him proud.
