Read MoreGreg S. gave me the pen-name Hideyo Tsuburaya for a JFFJ article i'd once written that he wanted to publish, because I didn't quite finish it for him. When he visited chicago we saw the movie TRON together and I got one of his JFFJ T-shirts. I drove and visited his home once in Toledo. Greg was good friends with Cinefantastique publisher Frederick S. Clarke as they were both just the same age. Greg had a friendly sense of humor

Darlene, I am so shocked and sadden buy this news. I've known you and Greg a long time. I know what you've been through these past years, the good and bad. I pray that God stays close to you through this difficult time, and if there's anything you need, you know where I am. Rest in peace Greg.

I worked with Greg for a couple of years and he was a great guy. I always enjoyed hearing stories about his greyhounds and was constantly blown away by this talent.

Greg is away, but the fan candle he lit will never die.

I knew Greg for 47 years through the JFFJ and his visits in the 1970s. We also met at Chicago G Fests 2001 and 2010, the last one with Darlene. We always wrote those old things called LETTERS and rarely if ever e-mailed. His pasing creates a personal hole, because we related on other non-GOdzilla maters as time passed. Thanks
