Gregory Douglas Jaynes

Greg and I were foreign correspondents in Africa and later colleagues at Time magazine. He was a wonderful story teller and a valuable friend. Im so sorry to learn that he is gone.

I was so sorry to hear of my uncle Greg's passing. Although we lost touch for a long while after my aunt Madeline's passing we had recently traded some emails and I was looking forward to visiting with him. Greg was a beloved uncle to my siblings and cousins, charming us with his wit and worldly experience. He remains very much alive in my memories.

May you take comfort in the fact that god will make you firm and he will make you strong in your time of sorrow

Greg was always one of Dad and Mom's (Ed and Joyce) favorite students. I remember him visiting the house after he moved to New York and I thought he was a movie star. He was bigger than life. My sympathies to the Jaynes family.

My favorite memory with Uncle Greg was my visit to NYC with my friend Erin. We met him at his favorite sushi restaurant (this was my first time to try sushi,) and he ordered quite an assortment of his favorites for us to sample! Then, he and Madeleine took us to a fantastic Indian restaurant for dinner. I also spent many hours in Mamaw's living room on Faxon Avenue cutting out every American Scene column from Time Magazine, and placing them in a scrapbook for her. :)

Greg lived across the street from me on Queensbury Circle for many years. I loved his entire family and grieve with them for their loss.

A classmate whose memory inspires. He turned out years of good writing and encouraged good writers with wit and humor and he covered some of the more somber events that marked the lives of those of us growing up in the shadow of change. He eloquently covered those events with true journalistic profesionalism. I love his memoirs. They speak to me and will continue to play a mentorship role. Rest in Peace Greg - Carry on - your shadow looms large!

Condolences to the Jaynes Family and especially to our son-in-law Philip Jaynes. May you brother rest in peace and your worries about him resolved.

My sincere condolences to the family. May the God of Peace, give you peace constantly in every way. 2Thess. 3:16
