Not sure what to say?

Greg Smith was just the gentlest of souls. I always enjoyed learning from him about electric apparatus and about his 'latest and greatest' innovative project. Greg was an inventor at heart and was always looking for ways to make lives better, and safer. We miss him. I miss him.

Greg was a mentor to me when I first started working at WWP in the claims and Risk Management. We worked on many customer issues to provide the best service possible. We have been in touch recently during his retirement. I will miss him.

Whenever I see the Geico commercial featuring the song "One Headlight" I think of Greg, heading down the road on his motorcycle, that infectious grin on his face.....

One of the finest people we've met. Always a welcoming smile,caring words and a calm presence. We remember stories that he shared about Kendra & Meghan. He were so proud of them and enjoyed your grandkids. Such a complement and loyal companion for Robin. So glad you had a few retirement years to enjoy. Gone too soon. We'll miss him.

Greg was great mentor to me when I first started at Avista and he continued to teach me right up until he retired. He will be greatly missed.

Greg, you will be missed. May your light shine on.

Greg was always in a good mood when I had the pleasure to work with him. He always had a kind smile and made those around him feel welcome and comfortable. It was a pleasure and a privilege crossing paths with him.

Sorry to learn that you have gone, Greg - we will miss you...
