Not sure what to say?

My son, Matthew Purinton was a patient of Greg’s. Greg was the only orthotist who could make braces that Matt could wear. His illness and death are a huge loss to his family I’m sure but also to his patients.

Linda & family-
It was very hard to hear of this. Greg and I spent time together at NYU. ( And maybe a local pub or two). I always felt fortunate to have known him. I considered him a good friend, and I’m sure he was also a good dad. I am so sorry for your loss.

My deepest and heartfelt condolences as I just found out about Greg´s passing today (7/7/22) while at an appointment at CHOP for my son. Greg had been fitting him for braces since he was 18 months old and he is now 11. Greg was such an amazing human being with a compassion and kindness matched by no other. I am devastated to hear of his passing and my prayers are with Greg´s family for peace. He will be so missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Greg with my clients at CSH and he always had a smile on his face and a kind word. He will be missed and it was an honor to know him!!

Went to Ryan with Greg and some college....lost touch with him and reconnected when our daughters played soccer at VJM...Greg was without a doubt one of the kindest gentlest classiest men I have ever met...everyone loved him everyone wanted to hang out with him and be his friend...and I will tell you Danielle that I never saw Greg as happy as he was watching you play soccer at VJM...he loved being a VJM soccer dad and we all enjoyed going out and hanging with him...Greg lived a life like...

I knew Greg from working with him over 20 yrs ago and always knew him as a nice, kind hearted person with a good laugh . And although we've lost touch over the years, ill miss him and remember him always..rest in peace Greg

My brother, Joe, informed me of Greg's passing and I wanted to offer my condolences. While I probably haven't seen him in over 40 years I still remember what a fine person he was. Truly sorry for your loss.

I´ve known Greg sine the early 1980´s, he would always greet me with his warm smile! We saw many kids together over the years. I will miss hearing his news about his family and working with him. Be at peace, Greg.

I had the pleasure of working with Greg for several years when I first started out as a PT. He taught me so much about orthotics, always having the best interest of our kiddos at heart. He was genuinely one of the most kind men I've known. Always a smile on his face and a positive attitude, even when he wasn't feeling his best. I will miss seeing his smile and hearing him laugh. I hope he knows how much we loved and respected him. I send my hugs to you in heaven, my friend. You will me...
