Gregory Joseph Ladd

I left northwest Indiana 30 years ago. Recently my son joined show choir at his high school. He wondered why he had such interest and that reminded me of the great time that I had in two productions with Greg.

He was a great director and great man I was happy to have met. Its great to see how many other people's lives he touched.

I wish I had gotten back to see him before his passing. And I wish I had known of his passing sooner so I could have paid respects to...

i didn't know Greg through any theater as most people who signed this book. i first met him at a retail store i worked at in Highland. he came in frequently & always amused me with his stories & joking around. he had such a sense of humor! after i left the retail store i then ran into him while i volunteered at Paws Resale Shop where he would come in & purchase religious items we held for just him. then one day he came into my new place of employment & we laughed that he was following me...

Dear Friend,

You will be sadly missed. Remembering all the beautiful cards, lunches, and long telephone conversations with lots of humorous jokes and laughs, along with our lovely gift exchanges... what wonderful memories you brought me over the last 25 years.

Sadly, there will be no more phone calls, no more jokes or hours of laughs with you but our years of friendship will be fondly remembered and you will be thought of often.

Gregg, you know if AT & T had long...

My prayers go out to Greg. He left a deep impression in all he met. I'll always remember his sincere and friendly personality from 8th grade at Our Lady of Grace through the years at Highland High School -Class of 1965.

My deepest sympathy, Greg was a very talented friend from Highland High School Class of 1965.

My deepest sympathy to the Ladd family. Unfortunately Greg and I had no contact for many years; which I deeply regret. There is nothing I can say that has not already been said in previous Guest Book entries. Greg left his mark on all of us. I remember those days at Hammond Tech as one of the best times of my life. Thanks Greg.

My condolences to the Ladd family for the eternal repose of their beloved brother, Gregg.

My condolences to the municipalities of Hammond, Whiting,
East Chicago, Munster, and Highland for the loss of Gregg's immense
talent and direction, inspiring and leading these communities into a
greater individual and communal self-actualization through
theatre and through university teaching.

My condolences to the Diocese of Gary because it lost Gregg, who
had the prime-time...

I am sorry Gregg for finding out your transition too late. This sadly explains why I will not be receiving my annual religious Christmas card from you. Gregg was my journalism/communications professor from the time I started at CCSJ in 1986 until I pretty much graduated in 1991. From the moment I met him I knew he was a character to deal with and that is what I loved so much about him. I don't think I can put a number as to how many times I was called honey, baby, poo bear(lol)by him even...

I was in shock today when I learned that Gregg passed away. My families’ sympathy goes out to his family; Gregg will be sorely missed by so many. He pulled me into the productions at Hammond Tech and I was in many of the production from 74-76. I enjoyed his enthusiasm and his complete love for theatre; he made it all fun, but yet made all of us reach deep down into our souls to perform at our bests. There is definitely a void in the theatrical world without Gregg. He was visionary in...
