So sorry to hear the news of Greg's passing. Met him in '05, and only knew him for a short time. He was one of the good ones. A drawing he made and sent to me still hangs prominently in my home, allowing me to think of him -- and remember him fondly. My sincerest condolences to Stephanie and the kids.

My deep condolences to Greg's family; his shining light was extinguished way too soon. I had the pleasure of knowing Greg through the Stevens Center for Family Business at SVSU, of which Rummel Agency was a member for some time. Greg was always a delightful aspect of whatever group or gathering he was in. His passing is a significant loss.

Greg was a Christian gentleman living his life abundantly, one full day at a time. So much for all of us to learn from him.

Dear Rummel family. My wife Claudia and I are very sorry for your loss. Greg was a great person and did so much for our Sister City friendship. All friends of him here in Gunzenhausen are very very sad. We hope we can visit his last home next year when we come over for the Sister City anniversary. We pray for you and your family. God bless all of you.

I will miss my classmate from (Kinderhaus) nursery school through MSU, co-worker at Kern's, bandmate on some really long bus trips to bowl games, but I'll always think of Greg singing & playing Beatles tunes with his band in Holmes Hall. He didn't need a spotlight; his outgoing personality could always light up a room with smiles. Ein Prosit!

Close by us forever and love us we pray. Bless all the children in your tender care. And take us to heaven to live with thee there. God grant it for Jesus sake. Amen
