Gregory P. SOLTYS

Greg was an old soul in tune with a deep spiritual view of life. He had a deep love of his family...brothers, nephew, nieces, and all who lived outside of society's rules. He was a devoted to Bacchus , the bringing of truth. I visit him in my dreams...where I wish to stay. May the blessed be ....love from Steff

I knew greg and his brother mark briefly when they were in maine. i was just a little kidabout 10-12. i used to go down the street everyday to see the jandebuer's. greg was the funniest and wittiest man i had known i will miss him...

Ages ago we meet Gregory at Charlie’s Antiques, after we had purchase this beautiful hand carved wheat table base; it needed to be finished. We were introduced to Greg who was very excited to take on the project; our only requirement, we wanted him to match some existing chairs to the to newly purchased table base. You could see his creative mind at work, he did not just get out the stain and slap it on, he approached it as an artist…..a work of art. Time has gone on; many a good time has...

I only had the chance to meet Greg relatively late in his life, but his presence was loving. I felt comfort in just being around him.

"Infectious laugh" and "beguiling way with words" - well said. Greg was all of our pleasure and blessing to know and love. What a loss, and I am sure he is smiling as we speak and think of him.

To all those who took care of and loved Greg up close and personal, I'm so sorry for your loss of a very special person. Here in Maine, I have a big hole in my heart knowing he is gone. Each of us is lucky to have known Greg and I'm thankful for my memories.

I learned so much from meeting and talking to Greg. I did not know him before ALS stole his physical vitality, but he had one of the most inquisitve and creative minds I've ever encountered. He always told me that he was using joy and humor to fight his illness, and I will remember his honesty, whimsy and sense of fun in the midst of fighting a horrible disease. I am so sorry Paula, Stephen, Barb, and Mark for your loss. Some of the color has faded from the world with his death.

We met Gregory and Paula at the ALS baseball game in Williamsburg when they were filming on the documentary and when we attended ALS support meetings in Yorktown and Williamsburg. We enjoyed his laughter and smile.
We send our sympathy. Anson knows how you feel as he lost his wife in 2007 to ALS.
We would like to see the documentary when it is finished but don't know where to see it.
Please send information about it to the email address: [email protected].
Thanks and let...
