Sadly and fondly remember Greg, more often than the anniversary of his passing. Hey Greg, GO BIRDS!!

My deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Greg Swartzlander. He was the backbone of the Camp Hill Marching Band. He was always at band practices working hard with the students and did a terrific job as a choreographer and teacher. While I did not know him well he seemed very kind and unassuming. My heart goes out to you.

My heart goes out to the Swartzlander family! There are no words to express such a deep sorrow only time and God can heal! I pray for His hands to be upon you all now and forever!
I cherish the memories we had growing up for a time together and being an extended family during that time. Things that will never be forgotten, and are still talked about even now!
We were pals, got into poison ivy in the tree in second grade (unknown to us until it was too late! I got a day off school!),...

I will miss my friend and teammate, his ever present smile, our continual conversations about our Philadelphia Eagles and his calming influence and passion to grow Cumberland Valley's marching program. I will also miss the joy he demonstrated when talking about Christine, Kira and Conor. My deepest condolences to them and we will all miss Greg by their side.


Greg was an outstanding professor at Etown. I finished my Etown courses in December (and graduated in May), and Greg was my instructor in 4 of my last six classes (including the last). It was very obvious that he took pride in his role as a mentor and guide to his students. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to have had him as an instructor, and appreciate his contributions to my life and career.

May Greg rest peacefully, and may God help his family and friends through this...

To family and friends of Greg,
My sincerest condolences and prayers go out to all of you. My prayers go out also especially to those who mourn a good servant of the Lord.
God Bless you,
Deacon Phil Ladouceur

Greg was a thinker and communicator. Serving with him at Etown was an inspiration. I will always marvel at his grasp of all things media...but more importantly his ability to live his life fully. You are missed.

Chrissy so sorry for your loss. Wishing you and your family lots of love and comfort.

Greg was a regular at Planet Fitness, and he will be deeply missed. -V-
