Not sure what to say?

I was fortunate enough to have coached Greg on a youth basketball team several summers ago. He was definately a kind-hearted young man, a gentle giant if you will. He was a pleasure to be around, and will be sorely missed.

Greg was on my 8th grade basketball team, I remember he was bigger than everybody, but he was so nice. We would have to pump him up before games so we could get him to be more agressive. All of my condolences go out to everybody that knew and loved him. He was a great human being. - Dustin

To the Pappas Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with your family and Amanda at this very difficult time in your life. Greg will be greatly missed by those he knew and also by those he didn't get to know.

I knew Greg through OA and Scouting he was such an amazing leader and had such a warm, kind feeling about him. He truelly was a gentle giant. I never saw him curse or say a foul word to anyone, everything he did, he did with passion and love. He will be deeply missed. Mike DeVietro Troop 605
