Not sure what to say?

I remember playing golf with Greg at a class of 1973 reunion a few years ago. Great guy. He was one of many Chicago high school football players recruited by Bob Anderson that graced the Yale Bowl.

I have been trying to reach Greg for the past month to no avail of course. Greg was a good friend and came to our home every year for Thanksgiving diner except this past year.

If a memorial is scheduled we would very much appreciate any information.
