My deepest condolences to Greg's family for their loss.
It was so nice to have been able to share time with Greg and his other football team mates recently. They brought up many great football memories.
You don't really realize how good of a friend you have, until they are gone.

Our deepest sympathy to Greg's family during this time of loss. We both have very fond memories of Greg, growing up together at HRS. Our lives went in different directions after high school, but the memories never faded. We had great times and many laughs together. Those will keep us close forever. We will keep you all in our prayers. Kathy & Steve Fox

Deepest sympothy to Greg's family and friends.
Many fond memories come to mind. High School football with Mickey Hamilton and Jack Daniels. Baseball with Mr. Maciak. Enjoying some ice cold beers with Greg, Paul Martel, Foo Foo, and Mark Oullette at the Shanty. Seems like yesterday.
The largest class ever at Holy Rosary made it past 50. We still seemed invincible. Maybe it was that old football mindset. I am saddened that Greg had to be the first to go. ...
