To Greg's family and multitude of friends, how blessed we are to have had Greg in our lives. I will hold dear my student and cantor at my wedding. So glad that I reunited at Santa Clara for a surprise reunited union. May we always remember his unconditional love and be an example for generations to come.

I knew Greg at Fairfield University. He was so much fun to be around. His smile and laugh lit up the dorm! He will be missed. Rest in peace my friend. Chris

I had the privilege of singing in Greg´s 10:00 am Mass at Santa Clara university. He was a beautiful person, kind and loving. His voice and his music will stay with me forever. Much love to his family and I wish you strength to get through these difficult times. Denise Hickey.

I am grateful to Greg for giving me the opportunity to sing in his choir at scu, even though i approached him as an alum & had only sung in my birth country of India. His deeply inspired - and inspiring - passion for `music as prayer´ has made a life changing impact on me. His laughter, his warm and hearty hug, his tambourine rings, his very presence are all part of my own spirit too. He lives on, in his music, in our voices as we continue to sing and remember and...

Heaven just got a lot sweeter. Rest in peace.

I haven´t seen or spoken with Greg in almost 30 years since I no longer participated in the trips to Appalachia and moved away from Durham in my early 20s, but I will always remember him as being a kind, gentle, gracious, and patient soul. This Earth has truly lost a try treasure and Heaven has gained an angel.

Greg Schultz was a profound believer, a gifted singer and musician, a powerful presence and devoted follower of Christ. Everything he did emanated from that love and acceptance. It was a blessing to have him as a student at Yale. What a great loss for us that he has left this world. May he rest in God's eternal peace.

I had the privilege of working with Greg in Dunne Hall during my time at SCU when I was a Resident Advisor. I also played bass guitar for a Mass that Campus Ministry held for Freshman Orientation. Enjoyed many late night student Masses that had beautiful music. I remember Greg as such a lively and positive person and cherish those memories.

I had the privilege of making beautiful music with Greg at Mission Santa Clara. Greg wrote many prayerful pieces that had gorgeous music for clarinet. I love you Greg and miss you. Your music will bless us all for the rest of our lives. May you Rest In Peace my dearest friend.
