Gregory Rapp

I didn't know Gregg directly, but his work greatly influence my career. I spent 16 years as a designer exclusively for restaurants. Menu engineering was a passion of mine and his insights and "founding father of menu engineering" status was invaluable. That passion became the pivot point of my career and I transitioned into data. His same concepts translated well in data visualization and dashboarding and continue to pay dividends. He may not be physically present, but his legacy continues to...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I continue to miss Gregg everyday. We first met when I was working from home. He would come by and have me write business letters for him. He´d explain what he wanted to say and I´d compose the letters. There was no internet way back then so I´d deliver the finished letters to him at his home office. Our working relationship evolved over time and at the height of our working together he backed away from administrative work and went back to sales where he was fabulously creative and...

My family and I miss you Gregg. We love all of our memories and our opportunities to tell Gregg Rapp stories to each other and to others. It seems like only last week, you were sitting across from me on the couch talking about the cool things going on in your life.

I just found out the Gregg has passed. There have been three important men in my lives and Gregg was in that group. I don´t know if it´s a coincidence that they all shared a September 5 birthday. I worked with Gregg when he was starting his menu design business and it was one of the most exciting and challenging experiences I´ve ever had the pleasure to be part of. I learned so much about advertising, promotions, and design. I also learned about the business part of business like everything...

Jerry and family. I am sorry to hear of Greggs death. It's now August 22', and his death makes me sad for you all, and truly sorry that I did not know to send my condolences sooner. Peace be with you and yours.

I have just found out that my friend Gregg has died at such a young age. My first thoughts are for his family members who must miss him terribly. I met Gregg in the 3rd grade when I moved from the UK and he and his brother Jerry were very kind to me. Years later he called me to help him learn more about the program at Cornell University given I was an undergraduate. I know he later became a regular speaker at the school. Such a tragedy that his life was cut short but at least he leaves a...

Gregg & I were born the same day, same year. Plus as kids in families of 3 children, we were both in the middle, with youngter sisters. As I moved to Dayton to start 9th grade, we were next door neighbors. He helped me ease into a 'strange' new school with cliques galore. After moving to Panama Central America for my Senior Year, we both ended up going to college in Washington state (thousands of miles from Ohio). Then we both ended up in Southern California since '80. A lifelong friend &...
