Not sure what to say?

On this last day that your Guest Book will appear online, I have to thank you, Greg, for the two amazing and well-grounded children you left to carry on the very best in you: Gina, our own remarkable, intelligent, sensitive, wise, warm, funny, and loving daughter; and Nick, a young man I could love as if he were my own. I hope there is some way you could know how very blessed I feel that you were a part of what I now am privileged to experience, love, and respect for the rest of my time in...

Greg and I became fast friends when we met in DC in 1968 and had many adventures together. We spent 2 1/2 months travelling through Europe and Morocco in 1973, including some stays with his French relatives. As a novice international traveller at the time, I couldn't have asked for a better guide. You can only imagine the stories from that trip. After Greg moved back north, we reunited every few years, but only once since he moved to Las Vegas. He had a distinct and very likeable...

I'm glad I had a chance to see Greg in Wash DC for an NDI reunion...he seemed like such a part of NDI...I tried to find him in Vegas as I am often there on conferences but only got an answering machine...I remember talking to him so many times at NDI when we were kids about all his overseas experiences...he had a certain quiet dignity about him and a great sence of humor...seems like we were all members of an extended family back in the 60's in Rome...where did all the years go...may he rest...

My sincerest condolences to Greg's family. He was my friend in NDI in Rome and later @ Am. College in Paris (AUP now). I remember when we (the entire college) were at the police (Cite) for our carte de sejour, he was given a green carte de sejour because of one of his parents being a French citizen. He offered to wait for me, but I sent him to the cafe in front of Notre Dame. By the time we got back, he was half asleep. We joked about the wait time and how privileged he was. I always remember...

I can't express how upset I am of this news. I've known Greg since 1968 when we met as new students at the American College in Paris. That day several of us met for the first time (Greg, Sandy, Tish, Gary, Corinne, Mike, and me) and we've all been friends and in touch ever since. Greg and I shared many "adventures" together in Paris, Boston, DC, New Hampshire, and one or two in Vegas! I'll never forget the day he showed up at my house in Hillsboro, NH with the news that his folks had just...

I am so happy I was able to know Greg. Although I didn't know him for a very long time, he touched my life in a very positive way. I will miss him so much. Rest in peace

I hadn't seen Greg in nearly 40 years following our graduation from NDI in 1967, until I saw him at the WDC and Las Vegas reunions. It was a real pleasure to run into Greg again after all those years and to relive our memories of growing up in Rome. Greg was a remarkable person with a biting sense of humor and restless sprit and always had a twinkle in his eye. I will always remember him in that way and we will all cherish those memories of him. He will be sorely missed. Rest in peace...

I have nothing but good memories of Greg; hanging with the same crowd in Rome at NDI in the 60's. Humorous, a class act, with a wild side. Reconnecting again during the last few years at the NDI reunions in DC and Vegas was most excellent. Rest in peace, amico mio.

greg may have been my "ex" brother-in-law, but i will always remember the the spirit and humor he brought to all our family gatherings. and he was a loving father to my one and only niece, gina. may he rest in peace, adele
